[SIZE=6]The theft of Saitoti’s billions and grabbing of his property ‘an intricate inside job’[/SIZE]
A deadly conspiracy involving lawyer Fred Ngatia, businessman Jimmi Wanjigi, former Interior PS Francis Kimemia and former NIS Director Michael Gichangi is suspected to be responsible for the loss of billions of shillings in cash and property belonging to former Vice President George Saitoti.
After years of silence, it has been alleged that criminal elements working closely with family members took advantage of the ignorance of Saitoti’s widow Margaret and wired billions of shillings into an unknown foreign account days after Saitoti’s death, from where it was shared out to numerous offshore accounts held among members of the group. Margaret Saitoti was apparently not fully aware of the extent of her husband wealth.
According to our source, the theft could not have happened without the co-operation of Saitoti’s long serving lawyer Fred Ngatia who held most of Saitoti’s wealth in trust.
Today, nearly seven years after his death, Kenyan News Day can authoritatively reveal that his then trusted lawyer Fred Ngatia conspired with Wanjigi, Kimemia and Gichangi to spirit away Saitoti’s wealth leaving his widow and son destitute.

It would appear that Saitoti’s surviving brothers, Johnson and Ronald Musengi, were either compromised or intimidated into silence because they were the only other next of kin who were aware of how much the late minister held in his bank accounts.
A source close to the those who have been following up on the wealth of the former minister informed Kenyan News Day that they were aware Ngatia had personally delivered Saitoti files to a Nairobi incinerator and burned all the documents in a bid to erase any record of the moneys and the properties they spirited away.
Saitoti, then serving as Internal Security minister, died in a helicopter crash in June 2012 just months into the March 2013 general election in which he had declared his candidature for president.
Saitoti is reported to have died in a fierce inferno that engulfed his police helicopter which mysteriously went down near Ngong a few minutes after taking off from Wilson Airport. Saitoti died alongside his friend and assistant, Joshua Orwa Ojode, pilots Nancy Gituanja, Luke Oyugi and bodyguards Thomas Murimi and Joshua Tongei.
Soon after his death, Saitoti’s widow Margaret successfully applied in the courts for his estate to be shared equally between herself and only son Zachary Musengi. Saitoti’s will, drawn by Fred Ngatia, had listed properties worth a paltry Sh84.5 million to be divided between Margaret and Zachary.

During the time she was in court, Gichangi used his government connections to declare that Kitengela Plaza, one of Saitoti’s most priced possessions, was in fact built on a road reserve and would be domilished. When she sought Ngatia’s help to save the property, Margaret was surprised by the lawyer’s indifference coming g just months after Saitoti’s death. Ngatia refused to help her.
However, it later emerged that money running into billions of shillings and which had been held in several local bank accounts had mysteriously disappeared. No one was able to determine the exact amount held bit our source mentioned a figure close to Sh2 billion.
The then Interior PS Francis Kimemia is said to have worked with the group and provided government protection as the money left Saitoti’s accounts.
Wanjigi and Professor Peter Kagwanja were Saitoti’s trustees and very close confidants, but our source confirmed that Wanjigi did most of the work with lawyer Fred Ngatia.
Other properties that were held by Saitoti but not listed on the will included prime properties in United Kingdom and South Africa which the family is disperate to take control of are believed to have disappeared at the same time money was stolen.
To date, Kenya News Day has confirmed a grieving Saitoti’s widow still weeps for her husband and curses those who stole from her and her only son.
However, it has reports reaching us said Retired President Moi and Retired President Kibaki’s have both received petitions from Margaret Saitoti pleading that they speak to President Uhuru Kenyatta to use his powers to compel Ngatia, Wanjigi, Kimemia and Gichangi to reimburse Saitoti’s money and property that they grabbed so Zachary is not disinherited.
