Agency Says MP Rigathi Gachagua Cannot Explain Source of Sh200 Million in His Bank Accounts
Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) says Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua cannot explain the source of Sh200 million in his three bank accounts at Rafiki Microfinance Bank.
One of the accounts is holding Sh165 million while the other two have Sh35 million and Sh773,228 respectively. ARA which is seeking to have the funds forfeited to the State on grounds that they were acquired fraudulently dismissed Gachagua’s claims that he obtained the money through loans.
The recovery agency claims that a total of Sh7.3 billion and Sh12.5 billion in debit and credit transactions respectively were made through the three accounts between 2013 and 2020.
“Submissions by the respondents do not explain any legitimate source of the funds in issue and there is no linkage between the alleged “loans” acquired or guaranteed for the funds in issue. The alleged “loans” are just decoys of money laundering to mislead this honorable court,” ARA says in court documents.
ARA further says that there are no documents to support Gachagua’s claims that he and businesswoman Anne Kimemia, who is the second respondent in the case, transferred funds from companies to their accounts for trade.
“This is because the companies are legal entities that can enter into agreements with other entities including the shareholders or directors and there is no existence of such agreements between the respondents and the companies,” ARA adds.
While Gachagua insists the case is part of a scheme meant to harass him over his political stand, ARA has brushed off these allegations.
“We submit that the issue before this Honorable Court is the legitimacy of the funds in issue and whether the same can be forfeited to the State, the issue is not about his political inclination or association," ARA noted.

I hope ARA in their submissions have explained where the funds came from. Otherwise, I can see Gachagua laughing all the way to the bank.

Stolen public funds must be recovered and returned to the owners; the people! The only reason you see this thief getting by because he will bribe the lawyers and the judge with the stolen loot and they will decide in his favor! They are all useless thieves!

You only have $8.00 dollars in your meager MPESA account. Surely you are a total collision. That amount won’t buy a toddler a cup of milk let alone buying you a damn handkerchief! And do you call yourself a man or a little boy? You can’t even afford to buy a kid a chapati!
You MPESA money is nothing to moonlight here! So, why do you expect anyone to waste time searching the source of your $8.00? Stop justifying wizi by people who have stolen from poor Kenyans!

You will remain poor and even get poorer if your hustlers come to power. And that is a big if. This idea of supporting mwizi wetu should cease. Unless of course you are one yourself.

They hide from n politics when they steal alone. They make their stealing a public affair only when they get caught with the stolen lot! But the problem is the those Kenyans who give them audience and justify that all Kenyans are thieves! I have had enough of these UDAku thieves! Kenya will be flat broke with Ruto and Rigathi being in leadership!

Now why is the government going after our dear friend Gachagua. It is a well known fact that with the 200 shillings his father gave him when he was 19 years old, he was able to start a small car spark plugs manufacturing company which has grown in leaps and bounds over the years. His company employs 2300 Kenyans and exports to most of Africa and I heard that he has just signed a multi million dollar contract with a major car parts dealership in the Maldives. These self-made Kenyans are the people we need if we are going to achieve Uhuru's 2030 vision. If you are dumb enough to believe my cock and bull story, I feel for you.

I visit Mathira and the surrounding areas whenever I am in the 254. The roads in Mathira specifically iria-ini and magutu were so that there was a petition. Mr. Weru Kinyua was the one who got it going. Gachagua is only interested in fattening his and his friends' pockets. https://www.nairobileo.co.ke/news/378/revealed-mathira-mp-rigathi-gacha…

So Jakom is the savior. Mungu will help us. He is fronted to guard the looted wealth especially from the mountain. Tunajua bwana.He need to retire and enjoy what he has stolen for all these years.
