Kenyan politicians in the middle of fake gold scandal

 
Zaheer Jhanda with key politicians

Who is Zaheer Jhanda? 

Kenyans are yet to understand who is 
 Zaheer Jhanda involved in a multi million fake gold syndicate revolving around several Kenyans politicians.

Directorate of Criminal Investigation detectives raided a house in Kileleshwa on Monday afternoon in an ongoing probe into a fake gold syndicate.
Despite the police believing that the house belonged to a prominent personality in the country due to the GSU officers deployed to man it, they could not immediately establish who owned it.
The detectives further impounded eight high-end vehicles alongside boxes that are believed to be used to store the fake gold.
This comes at a time when a senator and two other politicians are under investigations for allegedly defrauding the UAE royal family of Ksh400 million in another gold scam.
The DCI had on Thursday sent a warning to all foreign embassies over the fake gold racket in the country, a message intended for foreigners who come to Kenya with the intention of purchasing gold or any other precious metal.

Kibaki and Njonjo: Two Muthaiga neighbours who don’t see eye to eye

Two Muthaiga neighbours who don't see eye to eye By Kamau Ng'otho Watching Jonathan Moi’s funeral on TV two weeks ago took me back in time to when I attended the burial of his mother Lena Moi in Kabarak in July 2004. On both solemn occasions, two men sat close to each other, but from their hostile body language they could as well have been on different planets. At Jonathan’s funeral, it’s his younger brother Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and Deputy President William Ruto who sat only separated by Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui, but you could tell there wasn’t much love lost between them. From the cold handshake to avoiding eye contact, only protocol and the solemn circumstances ensured civility. It was the same with the burial of Lena 15 years earlier.
