A Kenyan, Stephen Munyakho, who was on execution block in Saudi Arabia, is set to return home after the Muslim World League intervened and paid the necessary fines, United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary-General Hassan Omar has revealed.
Speaking on Tuesday during an Iftar at State House hosted by President William Ruto, Omar announced that following successful negotiations between Saudi Arabia, Kenya, and the Muslim World League, Munyakho would soon be reuniting with his family.
According to Omar, the negotiations, which involved key officials from both countries, resulted in a total of KSh 129.5 million ($1 million) being paid to the Gulf nation as a settlement for the accusations Munyakho was facing.
During the announcement, Omar revealed that diplomatic efforts to save Munyakho were coordinated at State House, Nairobi, hinting at possible involvement by President William Ruto.
