A Kenyan businessman has been arrested and is being detained in Tanzania on fraud charges.


Don Bosco Gichana, a 32 year old businessman who caused a stir when he became one of the few Kenyans to import a gas guzzling Hummer sport utility vehicle in 2007 was arrested last week by Tanzanian security agents in Arusha and later transferred to Dar es Salaam where he is being held.

Gichana runs several entertainment spots in Nairobi including Capri Seven. He also contested for a parliamentary seat in Kisii county on a CORD ticket in last month's election and lost.

Reliable sources yesterday revealed that US law enforcement agents who are said to have played an important role in tracking and arresting Gichana have since filed a request with the Tanzanian authorities to have him extradited to the US to face other unspecified charges.
