Bookshops in Nairobi have shunned a book that lays bare the depths of corruption in the country’s four administrations for fear of reprisals.

Although the demand for the book, Looters and Grabbers, 54 Years of Corruption and Plunder by the Elite, 1963-2017, continues to rise following debate on social media, The Standard did not find a single copy in bookshops.
