Tycoon: Former Kenyan president took bribes

Former Kenyan President President Daniel arap Moi accepted bribes, a company chief at the centre of the East African nation’s biggest financial scandal told an inquiry today.

Kamlesh Pattni, the major shareholder of Goldenberg International, said he gave Moi £41,000 (€61,000) and an unspecified number of shares in the company at a meeting set up by a senior intelligence official in August 1990.
