Barely a week after being suspended from cabinet, former Higher Education minister William Ruto was in the dock today to face charges over a 96 million shillings corruption case.
Ruto has been formally charged with obtaining money from the Kenya pipeline company through an illegal sale of land in Ngong forest.
The fraud case against former Higher Education Minister will now be heard early next year before Nairobi chief magistrate Gilbert Mutembei.
According to the television station KBC, twelve days have been booked for the hearing of the case in January and February next year, and Mutembei has asked the defense lawyer not to apply for any adjournments during the hearing.
The prosecution intends to call a total of 24 witnesses.
