The recent robbery incident involving Tharaka Nithi Deputy Governor Eliud Mati seems to have lifted the lid on his quiet but controversial life.
For a man rarely in the news, Mr Mati has been subject of a scrutiny by government agencies following claims that he was robbed of Sh3.5 million by his bodyguard at gunpoint. The revelation has thrust the man who rose from a P1 teacher to a PhD holder into the limelight with more allegations coming forth.
