Ahmednasir Warns Ruto To Retrieve Stolen Money Or Risk Widespread Looting

Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has stated that the incoming regime of President William Ruto must first seek to retrieve assets stolen by the previous administration.

In a statement issued on Sunday, he stated that failing to recover the stolen monies will result in widespread looting under his government.
