The saga involving businesswoman Ann Njeri Njoroge, who has been in the spotlight of late over the Ksh17 billion fuel importation debacle took a new twist on Wednesday after Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen alleged that the lady only claimed ownership of the consignment after it had already been discharged from the port.
Murkomen who spoke during an interview in Mombasa claimed that the fuel was released to its rightful owners who presented the relevant documentation to the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA).
According to the CS, the 100,000 metric tonnes of fuel was imported by multiple parties, not just one person, contrary to the position adopted by Njoroge and her lawyer Cliff Ombeta.
The CS also claimed that some of the imported fuel was transported to other countries as detailed in the shipment manifest.
The CS asserted that the saga would be unravelled in due course as the Ministry of Energy and the authorities continue with their investigations into the matter.
