Convicted Nakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama will face the music on June 30, 2022, in the Sh60 million land fraud case, after the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) urged three High Court judges to permanently bar the legislator from holding any public office.
The EACC has appealed to Judges David Majanja, Murungi Thande, and Enock Chacha Mwita to bar Mr. Arama and any other politician with integrity issues from presenting themselves for elections.
“Arama has been convicted in a Sh60 million land fraud case and should not be allowed to contest any elective seat,” the three judges were urged by the EACC.
The three judges were appointed by Chief Justice Martha Koome to determine whether politicians with integrity issues should be allowed to contest for any elective seat in the August 9, 2022, General Elections and future polls.
Mr. Arama, along with Nakuru Lands Registrar John Muiru Mwaura, Daniel Kimori, and Kennedy Begi Onkoba, was charged with committing the offences between August 3, 2015, and August 11, 2015.
The prosecution said the two conspired to defraud Ahmed Muhammad Nisar of his plot in Nakuru municipality.
