By PETER LEFTIEMore by this AuthorNicholas Biwott’s involvement in a Kisumu molasses plant featured prominently in a commission's inquiry into the murder of Robert Ouko. POLITICAL MILEAGEAccording to Mr Troon, Mr Biwott, who died Tuesday aged 77, had disagreed with Dr Ouko over the cancellation of the project that was to be constructed in Kisumu, which the latter represented in Parliament at the time. Mr Biwott, on the other hand, expected to extract “kickbacks” from the project, through intermediaries, Mr Troon claimed during the inquiry. He claimed that these differences led to Mr Biwott conspiring to eliminate Dr Ouko, who he felt was standing in the way of the kickbacks. Mr Biwott tabled documents to show that four feasibility studies had been undertaken prior to the project’s commencement.
