Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen has alleged the fake military tender saga is a plot to setup Deputy President William Ruto.
He said the investors – Mustafa Lofty and Stanley Bruno Kozlowski – who visited the DP’s office in the Company of former Sports CS Rashid Echesa could be ‘later day’ Artur brothers.
“I believe Mustafa Lofty and Stanley Kozlowski are later days Artur brothers. They are mercenaries. Arrest them. They can’t be investors,” Murkomen said.
Artur Margayan and Sargasyan were Armenian brothers who caused outrage in 2006, when in turned out that the men, who wined and dined with senior government officials, were in fact mercenaries linked to narcotics.
Murkomen said there is no single investor who can sign a DoD contract worth Sh39.5 billion in a waiting room without a lawyer or witnesses.
He said the entire saga appears to be a well-orchestrated plan meant to trap the DP who was not in his office at that time.
“Are they another set of Artur Margaryan and Artur Sargysyan? What are their Immigration status?” Murkomen said.
Bruno, an American based in Poland, claimed that Echesa had promised to link him to a tender.
He and Lofty went to Harambee Annex, which houses Ruto’s office, last Friday where they said they were to sign the tender. They were accompanied by Echesa.
