The storm kicked by the Controller of Budget imploded further on Wednesday with fresh revelations that Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's office demanded Sh1.59 billion two days after the Supreme Court confirmed Kenya Kwanza's victory.
In a no-holds-barred response, former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani claimed he received a request "on behalf" of Gachagua for approval of the money, using the same route he approved the Sh15 billion in the last days of former President Uhuru Kenyatta's regime.
