The British government has sharply differed with Kenyan authorities over the planned repatriation and use of money recovered from the so-called Chickengate scandal.

UK authorities have rejected assertions that they ‘dictated’ how the £349,057.39 (Sh50.05 million at current exchange rates) would be used, putting Kenya’s Ethics and Anti-Corruption Authority (EACC) chief executive Halakhe Waqo , on the spot for possible breach of Chapter Six of the Constitution and perjury.
