TWO RELATIVES OF a politician are reportedly on the run
after allegedly breaking into his safe, stealing wads of cash believed to be
from dubious deals with select government agencies. They reportedly hired a
welder to hack the politico’s safe, which held stacks of 200 and 500-shilling
notes, then vanished, switching off their phones. Reports say they also
accessed the man’s bank accounts, withdrawing undisclosed amounts. A county
chief and MPs who invested in the deal for their 2027 re-election funds are
said to have panicked big time. The incident has sparked outrage and raised
questions about the source of the money.
