Why Ruto can’t go after Uhuru billions, Economist David Ndii
Ruto economist David Ndii claims Uhuru Kenyatta stole billions meant for petroleum development levy but the current govt lacks commitment to recover the monies
Ruto economist David Ndii claims Uhuru Kenyatta stole billions meant for petroleum development levy but the current govt lacks commitment to recover the monies.
The former president Uhuru Kenyatta and his associates allegedly fleeced the Kenyan public, but economist David Ndii claims that the money cannot be retrieved.
Ndii was defending the administration after it took action to stabilize fuel prices after Kenyans criticized their exorbitant costs.
He asserted that the Uhuru administration’s officials misappropriated funds from the petroleum development levy that were intended to control fuel costs, leaving a deficit that Kenyans are today covering.
“Uhuru emptied the petroleum development levy stabilization kitty. He then raided Exchequer for subsidies. We found arrears of KSh 50 billion
“After stopping the subsidy we paid some from the PDL and the rest with a special bond. That is how we can restore stabilization using PDL,” said Ndii.
He went on to assert that Kenyans would have to fill the shortfall occasioned by supposed theft for a long time.

“Uhuru and his family and cronies stole and squandered a lot of money. We will pay the price for a long time. No amount of trolling and social media scrubbing will change that. Facts are stubborn things,” added Ndii.
On why the government had not moved to recover the said loot, Ndii stated that no commitment was made with respect to it.
“Did we promise to? I was for amnesty and why but you all opposed it or kept silent. Hold your peace,” he stated.
The Kenya Kwanza government bureaucrats are on record claiming that they inherited empty coffers from Uhuru’s administration.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua once claimed that billions of shillings were stolen and ferried in choppers in the last days of the retired president’s regime.
