Murungaru has been embroiled in a conflict with the British Government following cancellation of his visa to enter the United Kingdom due to allegations of corruption in the Anglo-Leasing scandal.
He has hired prominent Kenyan lawyer Paul Muite and a group of British lawyers, Mr Rabinder Singh, a Queen's Counsel of Matrix Chambers, London, Mr Richard Stein, a senior partner in Leigh, Day and Company and Ms Tessa Hetherington, a junior counsel of Matrix, to represent him.
[citation needed] On February 17, 2006, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) arraigned Murungaru in a Nairobi court charging him with failing to declare and account for his wealth.
The High Court did not however stop KACC from investigating Murungaru or anyone else for corruption but insisted that any orders issued by the Commission be done so in a legal manner.
A society in Kenya under the banner of the Name and Shame Corruption Network (NASCON) held a demonstration in the streets of Nairobi to push for the resignation of more senior people in President Mwai Kibaki's administration.
