the Uk is doing UK and risasi a big favor, wets and mk will look like clowns talking against corruption, though wet seems not to mind with his big ego and threats to sue everybody.
This corruption agenda has been turned into just a game now, very few will take it seriously which plays into the duo's hands.
I have seen the deputy has started taking on risasi directly, shielding his boss, and risasi being addicted to the mud slinging games can not resist getting into one.

@Swenani, please help me understand your candidate. At the time the donation from paul Hopkins was received, Martha had been out of govt for 3 years.
Why isn't she tabling that as her main defence. The allegation is that she was to help Bat with some influence. Clearly, she was not in a position to influence anything at that time.
Now she wants Bat compelled to declare who else they donated money to. Who is running you PR ? He needs to be fired asap.

No media house has bothered to interrogate that very basic question that is at the heart of the allegations. The fact that it was campaign time would imply second half of 2012 onwards. Martha left govt in 2009. And yet the main accusation is that she was to assist in her capacity as justice minister. On campaign funding, if it were to be made public, we would all bow down in shame.

Accountability and credibility go hand in hand. Publish the accounts madam.
Otherwise media excuses, accusing Jubilee and threats to sue BAT shows the reports are valid.

It is possible. He has not said President of the Republic. She might replace Nyamweya as President of FKF Truth forever on the scaffold
