Nairobi, Kenya: National Authority for the Campaign against Alcohol and Drugs Abuse (Nacada) Chairman John Mututho has told a Nairobi court that Sh41.2 million fraud charges facing him are politically motivated.

Mututho said the fraud case in a tender for supply of medical equipment to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) was brought against him for campaigning against the Government during a constitutional referendum in 2005. “I was with William Ruto (Deputy President), Uhuru Kenyatta (President) and Raila Odinga (former Prime Minister) in the same camp opposing the Government in the 2005 referendum,” Mututho said.
