Oil –Lawyer Cliff Ombeta has accused Government of diverting oil meant for Anne Njeri to their stores.
Addressing the media from Nairobi after locating the Business lady today Tuesday November 14, an angry Ombeta described the current government as dis-respectful.
“The government is the one that stole Anne Njeri’s oil. They are claiming her papers are fake; where are their papers?” Cliff Ombeta – Lawyer posed.
Lawyer Ombeta said the government had stolen the oil and directed it to their pipeline what he is ready to fight in court.
“This is open intimidation and public brutality. You cannot tie someone with chains in one small room for days not caring how he will attend to her short calls. It is very wrong,” he added.
The lawyer further accused the State of threatening both the business lady as well as her ship driver never to bring in any fuel for her businesses.
“She has been told to go for good and never to return and the four ships in transit should remain outside this country. Captain has been threatened too,” Ombeta added further.
He described these actions from the government as inhuman and contravening human rights as established in the Kenya Constitution.
“What kind of government is this? If the government is the thief, where will businesspeople like Ann Njeri go?” he posed again.
On her part, the business lady said she has never forged any business document and targeting her cannot be substantiated by those making the claims.
“I have not forged any documents; all documents linked to my business are legit. No one was helping me. I was urinating on myself and slept on the same mattress. A private officer came when it was too late and said nothing,” she lamented
She shared having gone to record a statement at the DCI after being informed that her oil had been taken to another company.
Njeri, who is linked to the importation of sh17 billion worth of diesel, was today found safe in Mombasa.
