MP bribed hotel staff Sh30,000

A hotel guard narrated to MondayBlues how an MP bribed hotel staff with Sh30,000 cash after a story broke that he had fainted in a hotel room where he had hosted a young girl.

The new developments on the ‘death by sex’ bizarre news, which broke early this month, came as the hotel management confirmed that indeed the long serving MP collapsed in his hotel room where he had been resting for over three hours. As the story broke, the media got wind of it through an insider, but efforts to access the venue were fruitless as hotel guards could not allow paparazzi to the room.
