Harun Aydin was detained by immigration officials on landing in Nairobi from Uganda where he had been since August 2.
According to the officials, they said they wanted to question him in regard to his immigration status, work permit, and the business he is involved in the region.
They said there was information they wanted to clarify from him. He was being questioned at ATPU offices in Nairobi, police aware said.
Aydin runs a company known as Unit 2HA Investment Energy Africa Ltd. He was issued a working permit by the Department of Immigration Services in Kenya on June 30, 2021, and it is supposed to expire on June 29, 2023.
His detention was well known before his plane touched down in Nairobi as most Ruto supporters seemed to know about it and shared it online.
“The State has been sponsoring stories of Turkish businessman in the newspaper, I have no doubt that if he comes to Kenya he will be arrested even if it’s for few hours just to get to link DP Ruto with a crime or something for political interest. The losers are currently desperate,” said Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen minutes before the incident happened.
