A powerful politician recently shocked a city businessman after he indirectly coerced him to buy his wife an expensive wrist-watch.

The renowned leader spotted the trader wearing the designer watch at function and beckoned him to his side.

Sources have told The Grapevine that the man sought to know where he acquired the luxurious timepiece and at what price.


“Why does my wife not have a similar watch?” he posed to no one in particular.

The businessman took the cue and decided to buy the spouse of the influential man the Swiss-made gold and diamond coated watch.

It cost him Sh4 million.
