A brief outage of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi M-Pesa paybill yesterday sparked fears among supporters that the fundraising platform had been suspended, with the movement alleging political interference at a time when the senator has found himself on a collision course with President William Ruto.
