Due to the battle, he had failed to appear on several occasions in court to answer charges relating to Anglo Leasing where he was accused of a conspiracy to fraud Kenya close to 4 billion shillings.
Mwiraria (born 3 September 1938) was the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources previously Finance Minister of Kenya until December 2007 when Kenya held its General Elections.
