Albert Ojwang’s family has denied reports of raising Ksh10 million in donations from Kenyans.
Through their lawyer, Julius Juma, the family stated that they received Ksh5 million from Kenyans and leaders who made contributions.
As detailed during the requiem mass held on Wednesday, July 2, Ksh2 million was donated by President William Ruto, and another Ksh2 million was raised from Kenyans.
Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga donated Ksh1 million.
“It has been said on some media channels that the family received Ksh10 million. I have been asked to set the record straight. The family did not receive Ksh10 million,” the lawyer clarified.
“The family wishes to confirm that they received Ksh2 million from the Head of State, Ksh1 million from Raila Odinga, and Ksh2 million from Kenyans. This totalled Ksh5,060,000.”
Additionally, the lawyers thanked Kenyans for supporting the family through the donations.
