The Anti-Corruption Court on Thursday evening ordered former Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal to pay Ksh84.5 million after he was found guilty of engaging in a Ksh83 million corruption scandal.
In his ruling, Justice Thomas Nzioki ruled that the former county boss had been banned from applying for any public office for a period of ten years.
According to Nzioki, Lenolkulal will also be required to pay Ksh2 million for engaging in a conflict of interest and unlawfully acquiring property with millions.
Failure by the former county governor to pay the Ksh2 million, then he would be forced to spend eight years in prison.
Lenolkulal’s accomplice who was accused of aiding the former governor in stealing the county funds was ordered to pay Ksh83 million.
According to the judge, Lenolkulal’s actions contravened the tenets of the constitution under leadership and integrity and by engaging in corruption, he broke the public’s trust.
