Saturday , August 7, 2021 -Deputy President William Ruto is an angry man following the arrest of Turkish foreigner Aydin Harun.
Harun was on Saturday August 7 evening arrested by detectives who have been trailing him in the country since the news about his activities were reported. Ruto was also linked to his presence in the country.
Just after he was arrested, the second in command rushed to his social media platforms, to term the arrest as political and which lacks any basis.
The visibly angry DP argued that his friend and investor Aydin Harun was a victim of arrogance from powers above.
He also mentioned the closure of many factories in the country as a plot by the State to kill local manufacturing industries. Among the victims are Africa Spirits and Keroche Breweries.
“Turkish investor, Aydin Harun, is a victim of top-down arrogance bred by patronage & cartels that criminalize enterprise.Importers’ goods declared contraband,Africa spirits closed, Keroche harassed, now investor with valid papers labelled terrorist.Tragedy of political pettiness,” Ruto tweeted on Saturday August 7 evening.
