Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot has filed a lawsuit against blogger Cyprian Nyakundi over a social media post linking him to alleged theft of betting tax revenue in Kenya.
The post in question, made a few days ago, on social media, claimed that Senator Aaron Cheruiyot is at the center of a secretive and corrupt network. According to the post, this network allegedly funnels large amounts of money billions of shillings collected as betting taxes away from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and into the pockets of private individuals. The accusation paints the Senator as someone misusing his political influence to quietly profit from the betting industry at the expense of the public.
Senator Cheruiyot, through his legal team, argues that the allegations are false, defamatory, and intended to damage his reputation.
