Ex-MP raises eyebrows after becoming overnight billionaire

Insiders reportedly say the county boss may not get rid of the aide who has allegedly been his spanner boy for decades. The man is reportedly said to understand the county chief’s alleged dirty deals, which could be damaging if exposed.

Over the years, in Kenya’s charged political landscape, few institutions have commanded as much respect, fear, and influence as the Catholic Church. In the 1980s and 1990s, Catholic bishops spoke out against authoritarianism and corruption and consequently paid a heavy price.
