People are focusing on Fred Matiang’i alone in the Ruaraka land scandal, yet the earlier whistleblower account did not present this as a one man eating competition, because the sharing list was wider, uglier and more careless than the public debate now suggests.
According to that earlier whistleblower account, Matiang’i was allegedly marked for Sh300 million, former NLC boss Muhammad Swazuri for Sh400 million, Salome Munubi for Sh150 million, Belio Kipsang for Sh100 million, William Chepkut for Sh100 million, and former Attorney General Githu Muigai for Sh250 million.
The speed of the money movement also tells its own story, because the same account claimed Sh1.5 billion hit the Barclays account of Whispering Palms Ltd on January 30, and within the hour, large transfers were already allegedly being pushed out to contractors, sons, shadowy characters and connected accounts.
The reported movement was wild, with Sh220 million allegedly going to Kenya Arab Contractors Ltd, Sh15.5 million to M-Lorry Ltd, Sh70 million to Justin and Mark Mburu, Sh50 million to John Mutwiri, Sh5 million allegedly withdrawn in cash, and another Sh930 million reportedly moved the following day to Champion Kenya Ltd at Equity Bank Fourways Branch.
That is why this scandal should not be reduced to Matiang’i alone, because the paper trail, the alleged sharing list and the speed of the transfers point to a wider eating network that EACC should now follow properly.
The Ruaraka land saga looks like one of the easiest recovery jobs for EACC, because these were not careful thieves who buried loot quietly, since the money allegedly moved through accounts, companies, contractors, family links, cash withdrawals and assets that can still be followed.
Even the windy looking PS Belio Kipsang should not only be asked what he signed, because if claims that he used his loot to buy tractors are true, then EACC should follow the tractors, follow the farms, follow the titles, follow the companies and follow every asset that suddenly grew after public money moved.
The court has already confirmed the foundation of the scandal, that the land was public and the payment was unlawful, so the next honest step is asset recovery from every person who touched, received, moved, hid or invested proceeds from that robbery.
The money did not evaporate.

Raila was never a small sperm.
Yes, he was born into privilege, but he built his own battles, paid his own political price, suffered detention, challenged power and even broke away from comfort when history demanded it.
Small sperms inherit a surname, sit near power and start lecturing citizens.
But Raila Odinga alikuwa anajiamini,He resigned from Bunge,formed his own party,ODM and was voted in. It’s very hard to find such kind of politician today.
FREE HISTORY and STRATEGIC LESSON
History never repeats itself. It only appears to do so as a farce.
Sifuna and Orengo believed, wrongly, that they could replicate what Raila Odinga did to KANU in 2002.
They forgot that Raila joined KANU as a party leader of NDP. KANU and NDP merged after formal negotiations.
Sifuna and Orengo joined ODM as INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS. They neither had political parties nor negotiations before joining.
Raila & Company did not take Moi and KANU to court to protest at being sidelined after Moi handpicked Uhuru Kenyatta as KANU’s presidential candidate in 2002.
Raila & Company RESIGNED from KANU and formed their own outfit called the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and ORGANIZED as a SEPARATE POLITICAL ENTITY.
Chart your path. Stop taking ODM to court, wasting resources and time. If you fundamentally disagree with ODM leadership, leave ODM because you will never do a hostile take over.
You are distracting Kenyans from addressing REAL INTRACTABLE PROBLEMS they are facing.
Holding political rallies is not unveiling ALTERNATIVE VISION, MANIFESTO or IDEOLOGY or IDEAS.
Just a few lessons for the hypocrites, opportunists and cowards.
When I disagreed with Raila Odinga on issues of governance, grand corruption in his office by him and his cronies, the failure to implement the constitution, and betrayal of the Kenyan progressive forces in 2011, I resigned from ODM and turned down his reinstatement.
One should not cling on to a political party and public office if one strongly disagrees with the political party and head of the government he serves.
The same reason why Jaramogi Oginga Odinga resigned from KANU and the tyrannical and plundering Jomo Kenyatta regime in 1966.
If Edwin Sifuna is principled, he should resign from ODM. Clinging on to ODM is both hypocritical and cowardly!
Kangaru School has decided to take discipline to another level.
Students are being sent back home after collecting their belongings, with clear instructions that the school will be conducting fresh admissions.
During my latest media appearances on AM TV and Political Headache, I made it clear that the ‘Linda Mwananchi’ movement must not blindly submit to the so-called United Opposition at the expense of the youth agenda. Politics without principle or ideology only breeds voter apathy and political defections.
Claims that uniting under one banner is the only way to remove Ruto from office are misleading. We shall only remove Ruto by fronting the best-suited candidate — one the youth truly believe in.
Kenya needs a genuine Renaissance.
