What you need to know:
That is because of the bizarre narrative that started when the Government of Kenya signed multi-million-shillings contracts with Anglo Leasing Finance, a shadowy international company.
Over the years, the foul Anglo Leasing smell has lingered in the air and along the corridors of justice at home and abroad. The scandal has also spawned a string of memorable corruption lexicon.
The hall of infamy has in the last decade found space for a faceless individual in the midst of a coterie featuring a fat cat, vulture, pig, hyena and other dubious characters imagined by Gaddo, Nation Media Group’s incomparable editorial cartoonist.
The ghost character with a protruding belly may not have a mouth to puff on fine cigars like the sartorially suave fat cat, flash an impish grin like the hyena or display glint of satiety in the manner of the briefcase-carrying pig, but he is as much a monument to the spectrum of corruption and impunity afflicting Kenya.
