Former CJ DAVID MARAGA slams RUTO’s Government over eTA billions transferred to Swiss Bank Account illegally



Tuesday, April 15, 2025 - Former Chief Justice David Maraga has launched a scathing attack against the Government following its admission that funds from the Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) programme were deposited into a Swiss bank account.

In a strongly worded statement on Tuesday, Maraga accused Ruto’s Government of gross constitutional violations, questioning the legality and transparency of the move.

He insisted that all monies collected by the Government must, by law, be deposited into the Consolidated Fund.

“In a line of many scandals in our history, most of which have never been subjected to the wheels of justice, this is yet another flagrant violation of the Constitution,” Maraga stated.

“When did Parliament approve this pilot?”

“Why offshore Swiss accounts with their record of obscurity? Who are the signatories?”

“What evidence do we have that this is not yet another offshore account scam for personal gain?”

The former CJ demanded full disclosure of the individuals behind the account and whether the funds have since been transferred to the Consolidated Fund.

“The lack of transparency and accountability in the way public resources are used is the main reason for the economic difficulties our country faces,” Maraga added.

“The suffering is immediately felt by all, especially the ordinary Kenyan.”

He concluded with a rallying call for Kenyans to stand up against impunity.

“Kenya needs a reset of values, vision and uncompromising rule of law.”

“We must now be fearless in removing political leadership and cartels who do immeasurable and unacceptable harm to Kenyans.”

Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has acknowledged the Swiss account, explaining that it was part of a pilot phase of the eTA programme in partnership with a Swiss company.

“There was a piloting phase… which was a collaboration between the Kenyan government and a Swiss company,” Mwaura clarified.
