Tycoon hits the bottle over Uhuru-Raila deal to escape the reality

A popular city businessman is said to be a devastated man following the recent decision by President Uhuru Kenyatta to bury the hatchet with his political adversary Raila Odinga.

Weeks after the symbolic handshake between the two politicians, known for his lavish and exotic taste of expensive things, is said to be still in denial.

Sources have confided to The Grapevine that the businessman with deep pockets has taken to binge drinking as a way of escaping the reality of what happened in Harambee House.

It is understood that the man had splashed millions of shillings to ensure that there was a wedge between political foes now turned friends.
