Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua has recounted behind-the-scenes schemes by powerful figures in President Mwai Kibaki’s administration to block a report by then Opposition leader Uhuru Kenyatta on the Anglo Leasing scandal.

Ms Karua lifted the lid on how powerful Government operatives hatched a plot to starve Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee of money to block Uhuru, who was chair of the committee, from travelling to London to interview former Governance and Ethics Permanent Secretary John Githongo on the multi-billion-shilling scam.
