Wednesday, April 30, 2025 - President William Ruto met controversial Zimbabwean businessman, Wicknell Chivayo, for undisclosed business in Dubai after his state visit to China.
Chivayo,
known for his lavish lifestyle and close ties to influential political figures
in Zimbabwe, has been embroiled in several corruption scandals.
Notably,
his company, Intratrek Zimbabwe, was awarded a $200 million tender for the
Gwanda Solar Project but failed to deliver, despite a $5 million advance
payment without the promised energy project being completed.
Additionally,
he has faced allegations of money laundering and fraud, including involvement
in a $40 million electoral materials deal with the Zimbabwe Electoral
Commission.
Despite
these controversies, Chivayo has close ties with President Ruto.
In
early January 2025, Ruto hosted Chivayo at his Sugoi residence, where he
described it as a "rare and extraordinary privilege" to meet one of
Africa’s most distinguished leader.
Chivayo posted photos of his meeting with Ruto in Dubai and lashed out at his critics, bragging that he is not responsible for anyone’s distorted perception about him.
