Why Central Kenya leaders have mellowed

Member of Parliament for Mukurweini Kabando wa Kabando recently led colleagues in the “Can’t pay! Won’t pay!” chant protesting Government’s decision to make payments for Anglo Leasing-related deals. The Treasury, nonetheless, paid up and it is unclear now where Kabando stands on this matter.

Efforts to get the former minister’s view were fruitless after he failed to respond to our phone calls and text messages. This matter may be a hot potato for many to handle in Central Kenya, including the vocal MP and former University of Nairobi student leader, particularly after President Uhuru Kenyatta personally gave the nod for Anglo Leasing pay outs.
