President Uhuru Kenyatta’s younger brother Muhoho Kenyatta has been dragged into the raging sugar controversy in the country.
Contributing during committee proceedings on Tuesday, Aldai MP Cornelius Serem said Interior CS Fred Matiangi had failed to show up before a committee investigating the sugar scandal in the country because he was out to protect powerful individuals.
“After going through these documents we were given yesterday (Monday), I see why Matiang’i is not here. A company by the name Protech Investment Limited is owned by one of the strongest people in this country, and that could be why Matiang’i is not here because he is afraid,” Serem said.
Serem said Protech is owned by a member of the First Family.
“This document originated from the Agriculture Ministry. Company number 112 in this list is owned by Muhoho Kenyatta,” the MP added.
Other sources, however, said the move by Serem was a ‘hit back’ at the president and aims at dragging his family into controversies after it appeared he is ‘also targeting Ruto in his war’.
Those close to Protech said the company was only listed among sugar companies that are licensed to import sugar.
However, it is not among companies that imported dangerous sugar.
