In a statement released on Twitter, the Ministry said, "Reports appearing in a section of the Kenyan press alleging that Ministry of Foreign Affairs PS Monica Juma has travelled to Juba to secure release of four Kenyans held in South Sudan jail is false."

However, the Ministry offered no further information as to the fate of Anthony Mwadimu, Ravi Ramesh, Boniface Muriuki and Anthony Keya who were jailed.

They had been accused of defrauding the Juba government out of Sh1.4 billion.

They were arrested in May 2015.
