The National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich is in a fix over a controversial order from President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Cabinet to pay Sh490 million to a Mauritius-based subsidiary of an Indian firm that ran down the region’s sole oil refinery.
The trouble for Mr Rotich is that while on one hand his boss has approved the payment – the Cabinet actually said the money had to be paid eight month ago, the National Assembly has warned him that should he pay, MPs will hound him forever.
