Royal Media Services owner SK Macharia, on Wednesday revived a 10-year dispute that plunged the country into chaos when he told the Senate’s Legal Affairs committee that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga won the 2007 presidential election.

And the reaction from former President Mwai Kibaki was swift as he appeared rattled by the claims.
