More Anglo Leasing Resignations to Follow?

As further proof that former finance minister David Mwiraria resigned on instructions (as we said n this blog) all other persons mentioned in the Anglo fleecing scandal have firmly stood their ground and rejected the idea of resigning.

However there are those who believe that the pressure is now so intense, more so after Mwiraria’s resignation and that the circling hounds, having tasted blood will be desperate for more blood.

Murungaru’s Woes

Why would an innocent person want to seek a court order halting any investigations into their personal bank accounts and assets? They even say that it would be tantamount to self incrimination!! Read story in the East African Standard.

This man has been very close to the President. Some people have claimed that he is even related to the man. Yet it seems that this is one lamb that is headed for the sacrificial block.
