Former Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal has been sentenced to eight years in prison or pay a fine of Sh85.4 million.

He was found guilty of corruption involving Sh83.3 million.

Milimani Anti-Corruption Court on Thursday, August 29, ruled that Lenolkulal unlawfully benefited from supplying petroleum products to the Samburu County government.

Magistrate Thomas Nzyoki said Lenolkulal acted in a conflict of interest. He awarded a fuel supply tender to his petrol station.

Lenolkulal was sentenced to four years for conflict of interest and another four years for the unlawful acquisition of public property.
