Raila Odinga yet to respond over BAT bribery saga

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is yet to respond to reports that his office was entangled in the bribery saga involving cigarette maker British American Tobacco and Kenya Revenue Authority.

This comes three days after British newspaper the Independent published revelations of whistleblower Paul Hopkins indicating that top officials in Odinga’s office during his tenure as Prime Minister in 2010  wrote to the Kenya Revenue Authority asking them to drop tax demands against tobacco manufacturer Mastermind, a rival of BAT.
