On November 1, 2018, when police officers led by the county security top brass raided a palatial home in Kooje Estate in North Imenti Meru and nabbed a stash of bhang, the main suspect James Muthiora, alias, Karinta, was unbowed.
He wondered why the then Meru County Commissioner Wilfred Nyagwanga, who is now the Central Region Coordinator, and the then DCIO James Githinji were unfamiliar to him due to his deep connections in the law enforcement sector.
