His name came up during the National Youth Service (NYS) sh 791 million scandal during Ann Waiguru's short-lived tenure as Cabinet Secretary.

There were calls for him to be made to appear before a parliamentary committee probing the NYS saga but those calls were never heeded.

Mr Kibet appears not to suffer from the crave for the limelight given that he has not been in the news often.

ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda claimed that he had been involved in efforts aimed at tampering with witnesses in the ICC case into the 2007-2008 violence that nearly brought the country to its knees.

According to the nonsensical ICC prosecutor, Mr Kibet burst into an Eldoret Police station in an effort to frustrate investigations.

During his early days as a youngster, he used to make contributions to mainstream publications.
