ODM leader Raila Odinga yesterday broke his silence on the fake gold scandal admitting that he met the United Arab Emirates ruler Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. “In matters of this gold involving the Arabs (Dubai buyers), Matiang’i is as (clean) white as cotton,” Raila said. The ODM leader said he quickly discovered the person who posed as Matiang’i in a phone call with the Dubai buyer was a fake. Raila said the caller promised the Dubai buyer that he would store the detained gold until the buyer accepts to pay the Sh200 million bribe to secure its release. The gold question has dominated Kenyan headlines for over a week after politicians seized the moment to attack the ODM leader.
