Charity Ngilu's political mastery serves Jubilee well

Kenya: It is not the revocation of titles for 500,000 acres issued in Lamu County that has generated the current political heat, but the sensational manner in which Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu has linked her successor at the Lands docket, James Orengo, to the mess.

The Siaya County Senator is not your ordinary politician. He is a seasoned hand who is a close ally of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, and a key player within the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD). And the situation doesn’t get better when Ngilu further claims Orengo presided over the mess at Ardhi House, under the watch of Raila.
