Sinking Sand: Anxiety Spreads Among Kenyan Elite As Obado Spends Nights In Cell
An uneasy tension is spreading among the Kenyan elite as they witness what their fellow club member, Okoth Obado, is undergoing at the hands of Kenyan law. For a long time, quick releases on bond and bail have followed the arrests of high profile individuals.
This time it is different.
Our moles in the high class inner circles admit that things are not as they seem. From sudden stops to illegal procurement deals, to shifts to low profile appearances, the plutocrat is for the first time in a long time, afraid.

The Migori County Boss was arrested after it was proven, via DNA test, that he fathered the baby of the slain Rongo University student, Sharon Otieno. Rumours spread on who was behind the murder but all fingers point at the Governor for his proximity to the crime.
The country keeps speculating on why he might have given the order to murder Ms. Sharon but as per law, he is innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, those around the governor had their hands dirty and fingerprints smeared all over the scene, and it would be difficult not to connect him to the mystery.

As investigations continue, detectives keep unearthing new information that surrounds those in the Governor's inner circle and guesses keep getting fewer on who was responsible for the murder.
For the first time, when other Kenyans see that senior politicians can be held in cells, is it a sign or days to come?
Kenyans on Twitter say that perhaps time has come where we have all become equal under the law. Or is it just a ruse?
The choice of charge preferred against Governor Obado is a tricky route prosecutors must navigate.— Dennis Onsarigo (@Donsarigo) September 24, 2018
Accomplices must normally be physically present during commission of the crime. Testimony against him must be corroborated.
No doubt this must be a solid case
Daily Nation and The Star be like "Governor Obado slept on the floor and ate Sukumawiki for 3 days" leaves me wondering whether other murder suspects usually sleep in hotels having fendi for breakfast.— FINCH (@kaigi_gatihi) September 24, 2018

The killers and conspirators were all his personal aides & DPP has established he wasn’t happy with her pregnancy. Obado must be impeached.
Governor Obado must resign if we are still a constitutional order.— Lord Abraham Mutai (@ItsMutai) September 24, 2018
