A road engineer accused of amassing more than Sh1 billion through suspected fraud has come out to defend himself with tonnes of documents as evidence to prove he acquired his wealth legally.

Benson Muteti Masila, a regional manager at the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (Kerra), in his response to an application to have his wealth forfeited to the State for being proceeds of crime, attached 300 bundles of documents that weighed close to 100kg.
