Stephen Munyakho, a Kenyan who has been on death row in Saudi Arabia for over a decade, is set to return home soon.
This comes after the Muslim World League, a global Islamic organisation, paid the Sh129.5 million required to spare his life.
United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Hassan Omar confirmed the development at an Iftar dinner held at the State House. "The Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to Kenya, Khalid, and our ambassador to Saudi Arabia have confirmed that the Muslim World League paid the Sh129.5 million settlement, securing his release after diplomatic intervention.
He will return home safely," Omar announced.
