Was a senior official briefly detained at a major foreign destination recently after he was purportedly found with wads of cash stashed in his bag? We are told it took a powerful phone call from Nairobi to the foreign authority to plead for the freedom of the man who has an over-publicised supposed humble upbringing. The man was quietly released, cut short his trip and flew back to Nairobi. The official has been the subject of endless grapevine chatter about his alleged sky-high lifestyle characterised by overnight riches. Now that a foreign authority has the guts to sop him and ask questions, why won’t authorities at home take note?
