Slain Kenyan businesswoman Monica Kimani was said to be carrying large sums of money from South Sudan to Kenya in her routine trips.
One theory suggest that Monica was murdered because her killer(s) wanted to rob her of the money she had brought back with her from South Sudan.
South Sudan president Salva Kiir spoke of Monica’s alleged involvement in money laundering during an interview with Jeff Koinange on Citizen TV.
Jeff sought to find out what the president was doing to stop the loot of public money which was finding its way to Nairobi and Kampala. Kiir however claimed that foreigners were facilitating laundering money.
“The people who are accused of laundering money with her (Monica Kimani) may be in Juba but it may not be South Sudanese who are laundering the money,” said Kiir.
Army general
Kiir also spoke of his general Awet Akot who was linked to Monica. Akot was said to be the one financing Monica’s flamboyant lifestyle even though he denied it all.
“That General can be put to question. I will not stop him from going for investigations or going for any questioning, no. Even where you come from, there are many things happening, but I do not believe my brother President Uhuru is aware of. It is not each and everything that is brought to the attention of the President,” said Kiir.
