Karua stated that Ruto gifted Gachagwa 200 million that had been confiscated by the courts. She insisted that Deputy President failed to explain how he acquired that money hence Court freezing it. By the case being withdrawn and money refunded was against the law of the country.
” it was illegal for Ruto to influence the court process and award his friend money that was taken from him by courts. The process was followed and Gachagwa had failed to explain how he got it. Is that not corruption and disregard of rule of law? We should not be seeing such things.” Said Karua.

” Look at that case where they were fighting for a lucrative land. The court awarded it to him. Officials facilitated it for him. It was a sad thing to even listen to it ” said Karua.
