Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi is under fire for terming the conviction of Sirisia MP John Waluke fraudulent.
Waluke was sentenced yesterday, where he will serve 39 years in jail or pay Sh727 million fine for defrauding the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB).
The MP was found guilty on Monday, June 22, 2020, in Sh313 million NCPB fraud case alongside Grace Sarapay Wakhungu who will be required to pay Sh700 million fine or serve a similar sentence, and Erad Supplies & General Contracts Limited (Erad); a company where the two are shareholders.
John Waluke and Grace Wakhungu contracted with NCPB. NCBP breached the contract. Arbitrator ordered payment. Award was enforced by High Court. NCPB lost before High Court and Court of Appeal and paid the decree. How can that be a crime? Do not celebrate fraudulent convictions.

According to Havi, the public should not celebrate fraudulent convictions as they plan to take actions against the magistrate.
