A former governor is at a crossroads after security agencies intercepted communication between his henchmen and staffers of a local NGO in a scheme to transfer Sh2.5 billion from the US. The money, which the man is said to have stashed abroad, was supposed to be wired in bits before the 2022 election. It is exclusive of shares the fellow holds in a prestigious UK football club. The plan was that the NGO retains 15 per cent for its use; 10 per cent for the man who brokered the deal, and the rest would go to the ex-county boss. This has exposed the task awaiting IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati in enforcing campaign financing laws.
