Jacob Juma ‘had planned to flee Kenya’

The late businessman Jacob Juma

Jacob Juma was planning to flee Kenya and settle abroad in the weeks leading to his murder, new evidence shows. He was also in constant communication with businessman Jimmy Wanjigi about the Eurobond saga, exchanging new information about goings-on at the National Treasury and the Central Bank, which he later found posted on social media.

Interviews with a wide range of Juma’s friends and associates – some backed up by documents, SMSs and WhatsApp records – paint a picture of a complex, multi-layered individual in the middle of many wars, but who readily rushed to the aid of friends with cash handouts.
