KPC Ngong Forest land scandal

The KPC Ngong Forest land scandal resulted in the suspension of Kenyan Government Minister William Ruto and was charged in court as a result.

William Ruto and "four other persons" faced fraud charges over the alleged sale of a piece of land in Ngong Forest to Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) for Sh272 million. The minister allegedly received Sh96 million during the transaction.[1]

In April 2011, Ruto was acquitted of the Sh43 million land fraud charges for lack of evidence. His co-accused, Joshua Kulei and Sammy Mwaita, were also set free.[2]
