Luke Samoei is not my brother, Ruto says

William Ruto has denied reports that Luke Samoei is his brother as claimed by former devolution CS Anne Waiguru in an affidavit on the Sh791 million NYS scam.

The DP's communications secretary said he has no brother by that name "as alleged in memos or affidavits and reported in some section of the media".

David Mugonyi noted this in a statement on Thursday, following the affidavit that stated Samoei was Ruto's younger brother.

Ruto's personal assistant Farouk Kibet was also implicated in the National Youth Service scandal alongside Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale.

The former Cabinet Secretary claimed Murkomen visited her office in the company of Samoei to allegedly solicit for a contract for Samoei's company.

"At noon, Murkomen visited my office in the company of a person he introduced as Luke Kimutai Samoei, the younger brother of his excellency DP Ruto," she said in the affidavit.

"Samoei requested for business for his company by the name Equity Tech. He said I should be biased in giving it good work."

Persons named in the affidavit have denied the allegations; Murkomen said Waiguru is engaging in sideshow tactics while Duale accused her of " dragging up people's names and introducing non-existent petty politics"
