Controversial Turkish national Harun Aydin deported
Controversial Turkish national Harun Aydin has been deported.
According to Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, Aydin was deported on Sunday night.
A team of lawyers representing the businessman led by Senior counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi was at Kahawa law courts where Aydin was to be arraigned.
Aydin was arrested at the Wilson Airport immediately he landed in the country and was later handed over to the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit detectives. He had been in Uganda since August 2.
The developments come as a section of ODM lawmakers want Ruto to come clean on his ties with Aydin. DP allies have described Aydin as an investor in fruit farming.
Led by Uriri MP Mark Nyamita, the MPs also want the DP to be investigated over allegations of money laundering.
While inviting the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission (EACC), Nyamita said the issue of Aydin has nothing to do with investment in Uganda.
“We ask our investigative agencies to probe all the individuals involved in the saga because it is a clear case of money laundering,” he told congregants at the Church of God Ministries Kangemi, Nairobi on Sunday.
Homa Bay Woman Rep Gladys Wanga, who chairs the National Assembly Finance Committee said that she will be calling on the Kenya Revenue Authority to provide her team with investment details of this ‘investor’ including amounts he has paid in taxes for the period he has been doing the alleged fruit farming in the country.
He is expected to be arraigned today to answer charges ranging from money laundering and financing terror activities in the country. He has been detrained since Saturday.
