It is implied that Governor Ndungu's wife got a Thai spa recommendation from Abdulmalek . She went with Governor Ndungu and another.
IMO such courtesies and small favours are common in the business/ corporate world. I do not think a Thai spa recommendation in itself is sufficient to influence the governor.

I don't get your question

Hehe, Elder has your account been hacked or are you just being a devil's advocate?

Clear conflict of interest.

A judge is bribed by a politician. A CBK cop covers for a CS. A Supermarket CEO is its top supplier and pays himself first. A sugar company CEO covers for a former CEO. He also kulas the sugar company. A bank CEO kulas depositors money. A governors' wife ...... whooooi
