The police will arrest him upon his arrival for interrogation.
"We will arrest him the minute he gets into the country. We want him to come and explain to us where he got all his wealth.
"We got a lot of cheques, title deeds and more than Ksh63,000 from his house during our crackdown,” outgoing Mombasa police boss Johnston Ipara was quoted by the publication.
Punjani has been in India where he underwent open-heart surgery and he was released from the Asian Heart Insitute Hospital on Thursday after the operation.
“Punjani has been discharged from the hospital, he is moving towards Sofitel Hotel,” the Nation quoted a source.
