Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i hires the Canadian lobbying firm Dickens & Madson to assist him in his campaign drive for the 2027 presidential election. Matiang’i commits to paying Dickens & Madson a retainer fee of Ksh 32 million for their services.
Ari Ben-Menashe, a notorious former Mossad agent, will spearhead the business, reaching out to powerful agencies in Kenya, the United States, and other foreign countries to enhance his global reputation and advance his fundraising efforts.
The Foreign Agents Registration Act documents that Matiang’i has previously submitted to the United States Department of Justice demonstrate that he has already paid a down payment of $65,000 for the services that the company provides.
During the latest elections in Botswana, which took place in 2024, Dickens & Madson played a role that was quite similar to this one. They were successful in supporting the campaign of the newly elected President Duma Boko.
In 2018, a compensation claim engulfed this piece of land. Francis Mburu Mungai and his companies demanded Ksh. 3.26 billion for the alleged forceful occupation of his land by two schools: Drive-Inn Primary School and Ruaraka High School.
However, the government had received the land these schools stood on in 1984, rendering Mburu’s claim unfounded.
Despite this, Mburu managed to convince key officials to support his fraudulent claim.
Dr. Salome Munubi, Dr. Mohammed Swazuri, and the then-National Land Commission (NLC) Chairman all approved the compensation at the time.
