In what is shaping up to become one of the biggest transnational narcotics investigations in recent times, a Nation story revealed that a Cabinet Secretary and a controversial governor are among prominent Kenyans that the US Department of Justice is investigating over allegations of taking bribes from the notorious Akasha drug family.
Other than the CS and the governor who has previously been anecdotally linked to the criminal underworld and drug dealing other senior officials on the US wanted list are an outspoken Rift Valley MP, a prosecutor, two High Court judges, two magistrates, and a senior criminal investigations officer.
It is believed that money from drug dealing is used to fund terrorists. Al Shabaab militants have continued to carry out attacks in several parts of Kenya in response to the KDF’s presence in Somalia, as part of the AMISOM peacekeeping force.
Kenyans have expressed that drug lords are serious offenders and have linked the exposed outspoken Rift Valley MP to be Joshua Kutuny. He has been sermoned by KOT to explain his wealth source.
Joshua Kutuny should tell Kenyans the source of his wealth the palatial home in Karen. Sitting on a five acre piece of land #DrugLordsKE pic.twitter.com/HYTb6lFeJQ

People want to know his relationship with the Akasha brothers.
Joshua Kutuny should come out and explain his relationship with the Akasha family and how he conned them using his OP position as a Presidential Political Advisor. He should tell Kenyans the source of his wealth including the palatial home in Karen. #DrugLordsKE pic.twitter.com/OfB2vY2fAa
