Though now seemingly charging at corruption within his government, President Uhuru almost found himself in the same situation once, during the reign of now-retired President Mwai Kibaki.
It was in 2009 when he doubled up as both the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, during the grand coalition government co-led by now opposition leader Raila Odinga, then the Prime Minister.
In May 2009, a Sh9.2 billion puzzle emerged in the supplementary budget and when asked, Uhuru claimed that no money had been lost.
He termed it as a confusion brought about by a typing error, in what was later popularized as The 'computer error' saga.
He blamed the confusion on the complexity of computer technology or human hands moving over the keyboard, an explanation that was obviously not appealing to Kenyans who are almost getting used to losing their monies to such.
The revelation was made by then Imenti Central legislator Gitobu Imanyara, who claimed that the budget was passed by an extra 9.2 billion with bad intentions.
It mainly touched online items tagged 'personal allowances', Ministry of Education being the most affected.
In his defence, Uhuru rubbished any attempts to defraud the nation, terming the allegations as an attempt by his political rivals to sabotage him politically.
