As John Githongo was releasing more damaging information of how president Kibaki's most trusted men covered up the multi million Anglo Leasing scandal, the British high commissioner to Kenya was issuing a statement expressing displeasure on how Kibaki had chosen to retain the public officials implicated in the mega-scandal.
It is therefore not too far fetched to assume that the former permanent secretary in charge of ethics and governance is closely working with the British government as far as the Anglo Leasing scandal is concerned. Little wonder that his critics have never missed an opportunity to brand the former State house official a spy for her majesty's government.
It is evident now that the British government is not happy with Nairobi on the way it has dealt with the multi million scandal which implicates vice president Moody Awori and Attorney General Amos Wako, current energy minister Kiraitu Murungi, former finance minister, Daudi Mwiraria among others.
The British government has been exerting sustained pressure on the Kenyan government over the scandal since the days of high commissioner Edward Clay to now Adam Wood who have all expressed displeasure on how the government was dealing with the scandal.
The United Kingdom has good reason to be enraged about the entire episode considering that the new regime which took over from Kanu has denied British companies numerous contracts that they have traditionally enjoyed over the years. However this has not been done with fair play.
For instance, Kenya has been buying Land Rover's for the police and provincial administration over the years but switched to Toyota when the NARC government came to power. Rovers are British while Toyota's are famous Japanese vehicles.
According to the former minister for internal security and provincial administration, Chris Murungaru, the bad blood between London and Nairobi started there and he is also not far from the truth as to why Whitehall is so keen about the Sh 50 billion Anglo Leasing scam and to see president Kibaki lose the elections later this year.
One thing that president Kibaki must not forget is the fact that former president Moi survived for many years because of the support from the British. Yet Kibaki is using Moi tactics and option to do without British support. This could be one of the most fatal mistakes Kibaki has ever made in his long political career.
