An aide to a top politician is on the spot for extorting a governor money running into millions of shillings.

The man is said to have lied to the now beleaguered county boss that he could help him stop investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) into alleged swindling of public funds.

The man is said to have been working with another ally, with whom they shared out the loot.



However, the county boss got agitated when EACC investigators tightened noose on him with the probes.

The county boss and the man has since fallen out so much that the aid was out hawking the alleged corruption story to whoever cares to publish it.
