Mary Wambua, an ally of President William Ruto is the latest beneficiary of 'freedom has come' wave. This is after the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) withdrew a Sh2.2 billion tax evasion case against her on Tuesday 12 January.

Wambui, currently the Communication Authority of Kenya (CA) chairperson, was all smiles in court after the Office of Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) acceded to a request by KRA to drop the corruption case against her company, Purma Holdings.
