Wako Blames UK, US Again
The Anglo Leasing scandal is one of Kenya’s biggest corruption scandals that dogged President Kibaki’s first term in office in 2003. It involved the setting up of fictitious companies that tendered for government projects but never provided the services or goods tendered for. And details of why journalists were thrown out of a parliamentary committee meeting investigating the multi-billion shilling Anglo Leasing scandal can now be revealed.
Impeccable sources who attended the meeting told The Standard Attorney General Amos Wako accused US and UK governments of blocking investigations into the scandals. Wako, who was accompanied by Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet, Francis Muthaura, told the Public Accounts Committee the two governments declined to allow Kenyan investigators to interrogate the key architects, a Dr Meryln Kettering and a Mr Bradley Birkenfeld.
