Who was the late Jacob Juma?

The tycoon, who was not shaken by intimidation and threats from the government felt deeply betrayed by people he considered as close friends and decided to become a whistleblower of the corruption-infected regime.

Juma, who started exposing the alleged corruption cases concerning parcels of land and taxpayers’ money even went on to court in a bid to seek justice for the public assets.

As soon as he finished exposing Ruto he went on to attack other politicians like Najib Balala and even Evans Kidero who was the Nairobi government.

This built a lot of heat from the exposed individuals whereby Juma’s murder was being organized. Surprisingly, the tycoon exposed the allegations and posted all the details of the person who wanted him dead.

On 6 May 2016, the body of Kenyan businessman Jacob Juma was found lying in a pool of blood on Ngong Road in Nairobi.

Juma had been a tireless crusader against corruption and a close ally of many politicians in the opposition.
