Something's lost in translation, as hustler is Prezzo

Prezzo Bill Ruto has been on the move, gliding seamlessly through world capitals. It's hard to keep track of him, really. One moment, he's dining with a king, or burying a queen in London, before surfacing in New York for more talks with fellow Prezzos. Next, we heard he was in Kampala, meeting the father of the lad who threatened to invade Nairobi, before he surfaced in Dar es Salaam.

And trust me, all these sojourns are possible from a kitty with paltry Sh93m, which is all the last administration left in the national Treasury! I'm starting to believe that those prayer sessions at the State House are starting to bear fruit, for the national reserves have turned into that biblical bushel of oil that never runs out.
