United Arab Emirates (UAE) ruler, Sheik Al Maktoum, is now demanding Sh 4 billion in cash from the Kenyan Government after he was conned by Kenyan criminals who were posing as senior Government officials.
In a letter he wrote to President Uhuru Kenyatta last week, Sheikh Maktoum expressed his anger over how conmen who were posing as international gold merchants conned him Sh 4 billion under pretense that they will sell him gold from Democratic Republic of Congo.
The conmen, according to Sheikh Maktoum used the names of President Uhuru Kenyatta, National Super Alliance (NASA) leader, Raila Odinga, and Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiangi.
One of the conmen is Bungoma Senator, Moses Wetangula, and prominent city businessman, Jared Otieno.
According to Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), George Kinoti, Wetangula, who is also the Ford Kenya party leader was the mastermind of the scheme where he used his international contacts to con the Dubai ruler millions of dollars.
Wetangula is yet to be arrested.
