The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has announced the arrest of a Kenyan pilot in connection with the Sh39 billion fake arms deal. Three Department of Defence staff in the procurement department are believed to have prepared the Sh39 billion fake procurement contract for the supply of military equipment. Kenei, according to the DCI, was a key player in the fake military tender and had been seen as a principal witness against the scam. DoD spokesperson Bogita Ongeri already clarified that military procurement follows strict laws under the Public Procurement and Disposal Act and that no procurement of arms was underway. The fake arms procurement contract was allegedly supposed to be signed between DoD and two Polish businessmen in Ruto's Harambee House Annex office on February 13 before detectives were tipped off.
