Kinyua to appear before MPs

MPs launched an inquiry into the buyback after it emerged that National Treasury overruled the Controller of Budget in the transaction.
The government paid Sh6.09 billion to acquire a 60 per cent stake in Telkom Kenya from a UK-based private equity fund, just four days before last year’s General Election.
