For years, victims say they suffered in silence as one man allegedly hid behind fake power, fake uniforms, and fake connections to the highest office in the land. Collins Leitich, also known as Chepkulei, presented himself as a military general, a State House insider, and a trusted fixer.
Women married him, believing his lies. Families paid him, hoping for jobs. Fear kept many quiet. Today, victims are speaking out. Their accounts describe deception, intimidation, and impunity.
This investigation pieces together how the figure victims call Fake General Chepkulei allegedly built a web of scams that ruined lives across Kenya and beyond.
Fake General Chepkulei and the Anatomy of an Alleged High-Level Scam
Victims describe Fake General Chepkulei as confident, polished, and untouchable. He allegedly claimed close ties to the State House and presented himself as a personal aide to President William Ruto. He told victims he managed presidential property and advised senior officials. Chepkulei also spoke with authority, acted with speed, and projected power.
Multiple victims say he backed these claims with fake identification and constant name-dropping. He moved with armed escorts. He traveled with what looked like a full security detail. Many people believed the officers were real. Others now question whether rogue police officers enabled his operations. The presence of guns and uniforms silenced doubt. Fear did the rest.
Witnesses report that he carried identification purporting to show State House affiliation. He allegedly moved freely across regions. He hosted meetings like a man in charge. He collected money like a man with access. Victims say he demanded “tokens” to pass files upward. He promised results fast. He warned of consequences if anyone questioned him.
Several individuals raised concerns about unexplained wealth. They say he displayed expensive homes, vehicles, and frequent travel without a clear work history. According to multiple accounts, no public record shows formal employment. His education history appears unclear and inconsistent. While he allegedly cited businesses linked to Dubai, victims say no verifiable trail ever appeared.
Fake Academic Credentials
Further questions arose after reports that his most recent academic record reflects a KCSE certificate obtained in 2025 with a grade of D-. Victims say these inconsistencies deepened doubts about his true identity, nationality, and the source of his wealth. They now call for answers from authorities.
Victims say his show of power worked. People rarely challenged him. Fear kept families quiet. Silence protected the operation.
“Hello Nyakundi, this statement is shared strictly in the public interest—for awareness and protection—not for defamation, harassment, or personal attacks. All matters raised here are allegations based on accounts from multiple individuals and have not been determined by any court of law.
Several Kenyans and members of the diaspora have raised serious concerns regarding a man known as Collins Leitch, also referred to as ‘General Chepkulei.’ According to these accounts, he is alleged to have operated a long-running pattern of deception, impersonation, and financial exploitation. Many alleged victims state they have suffered in silence due to fear, intimidation, and his repeated claims of being ‘untouchable.”
How Fake General Chepkulei Allegedly Used Fake Power to Steal from Kenyans
Victims say Fake General Chepkulei targeted ambition and desperation. He approached job seekers, small business owners, and struggling families. He promised access to senior government offices. Chepkulei sold hope and demanded cash.
Families from Eldoret and Nairobi claim he collected millions of shillings while promising police recruitment slots during recent national intake exercises. Some victims estimate losses reaching KSh10 million. None of the promised recruits got jobs. When families demanded refunds, victims allege intimidation followed. Armed men allegedly linked to him harassed complainants. Fear forced many to withdraw complaints. Silence followed.
Several victims also link him to a shocking episode where he allegedly operated a fake police station. According to accounts, the station functioned as a trap to extort and intimidate unsuspecting Kenyans. Victims say officers detained people, demanded payments, and issued threats. Police later placed him under scrutiny, but victims say no decisive action followed. They ask who allowed fake authority to thrive in plain sight.
These allegations raise serious questions. Who funded his security? Who authorized the escorts and looked away? Sources reaching this investigation now demand clarity from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the Inspector General of Police, State House, and the Government Spokesperson.
Victims Say Fake General Chepkulei Weaponised Marriage to Defraud Women
Women suffered some of the deepest wounds. In the past year alone, at least four women from Kenya and Australia told investigators they married Fake General Chepkulei under deception. He held a lavish wedding in Eldoret. He formalized a marriage at the Attorney General’s office. Each woman believed she was the only wife.
Victims say he sold them a life of power and protection. He promised stability. He promised influence. Instead, they say they bankrolled his lifestyle. One woman, a student, says he lured her into a fake marriage that destroyed her education. She left school, gave birth then remained with a marriage certificate, no support, and a shattered future.
Sources identified one victim as Mercy Chebet. Documents reviewed by this investigation indicate she is a second wife who had a baby with the alleged fake general. An insider claims she was later abandoned so a third wife could be married in January. Victims say the pattern repeats. Chepkulei commits fast, extracts resources and moves on.
Another woman, a 60-year-old mother of three, allegedly lives with him in a KSh30 million home in Chesumei. Victims claim she now finances his current lifestyle and political-style campaigns, even as earlier victims struggle. The imbalance cuts deep.
Sources also revealed another hidden relationship. According to accounts, Alice Jepchumba Kimtai is the third wife who held a traditional wedding. Victims from Sudan and Rwanda report similar patterns. They say he targeted vulnerability. He promised protection but vanished emotionally and financially once funds dried up.
Fake Prominent Man and Ruto’s Aide
“It is further alleged that this individual falsely presents himself as a prominent businessman, a personal aide and adviser to H.E. Dr. William Samoei Ruto, and a caretaker of presidential or State House properties within the Republic of Kenya. These claims have not been independently verified.
Witnesses report that he carries identification purporting to show State House affiliation and moves with armed security personnel, raising serious public concern regarding the legitimacy of these representations, the identity of the officers involved, and who finances or authorises their operations.
There are also serious concerns regarding unexplained wealth and a questionable personal background. According to multiple individuals familiar with the matter, the person in question is alleged to possess significant assets without any known employment history, either locally or internationally.
It is claimed that there is no public record of formal employment, his education history appears unclear and inconsistent, and while he allegedly cites registrations linked to Dubai, no verifiable business trail has been provided to support these claims.
Further concerns have been raised following reports that his most recent academic record reflects a KCSE certificate obtained in 2025 with a grade of D-.
These inconsistencies have led to serious public questions regarding his true identity, nationality, and the source of his wealth. In the interest of transparency and public protection, these matters warrant clarification by the relevant authorities.”
Alleged Family Involvement and Ethical Concerns
Victims also raise allegations of family involvement. They claim family members, including his mother, knew about the activities or benefited from them. According to these accounts, illegal firearms and harassment occurred near the family home without reports to authorities. Victims say the fake police station operated close to the home. They say no alarm followed.
These claims raise ethical questions about complicity and responsibility. Families shape values. Silence at home can protect wrongdoing outside. Victims ask why no one spoke up when harm unfolded so close.
“Hello Nyakundi, there are also allegations that family members, including his mother, are actively involved in or aware of these activities.
It is claimed that despite the presence of illegal firearms and harassment of women occurring at proximity to the family home, no reports were ever made to authorities.
This raises serious ethical concerns about complicity and moral responsibility. Families play a crucial role in shaping values, and when wrongdoing is protected at home, society at large is put at risk.
It is also alleged that the mother is involved in all the scams, and not to mention the fake police station was just at the doorstep, and she never reported”
A Network of Silence and the Demand for Accountability
Victims believe the operation thrived through family complicity and institutional failure. They allege intimidation kept complaints away. They say power displays shut doors and fear did the work of enforcement.
Women’s rights groups and human rights organizations now face urgent calls to act. Victims do not ask for sympathy. They ask for protection. They ask for safe and confidential reporting channels and accountability that reaches every level.
This investigation does not declare guilt. Courts decide guilt. What this report does is present voices once ignored. It documents stories once hidden. It shows a pattern repeated across places and people. Different women. Different families. The same method. False authority. False promises. Real damage.
If proven, the figure victims call Fake General Chepkulei would represent a grave abuse of public trust built on impersonation, intimidation, and the exploitation of hope. Silence made it possible. Fear allowed it to continue. Only truth, transparency, and proper investigation can end it.
For too long, victims suffered quietly. Now, they are speaking. They are no longer silent.
