The reports had linked Biwott, also known as Total Man, to the killing of former Foreign Affairs Minister Robert Ouko and corruption in Turkwel Gorge Hydro-electric dam. For selling the controversial book, the bookshops were ordered to pay Total Man Sh5 million each. In 2002, Text Book Centre was also in trouble for selling a book published by former American Ambassador to Kenya Smith Hempstone, which was also linked Biwott to Ouko’s death. Text Book Centre was also ordered to offer an apology for selling the book titled Rogue Ambassador and further pay Biwott Sh7.5 million as damages.
