Interesting elements continue to emerge over the stormy gold scandal.

Fresh details now allegedly show how Dubai ruler Sheikh  Marktoum had sought the intervention of Raila Odinga to help him find his gold consignment.The saga  was first brought to the attention of the president in early April by Raila. This was after Raila flew to Dubai and met Sheikh Marktoum.

Odinga met Sheikh Marktoum at a hotel in Dubai, a meeting which was also attended by a Kenyan businessman involved in the deal and who had purported to be in direct contact with CS Fred Matiang’i. During the meeting, the businessman made a call to Matiang’i in presence of Raila Odinga and Sheikh Marktoum, but Raila was too smart and realized the purported Matiang’i  who was put on speaker was not the Interior CS.It is at this point that Raila told Marktoum he had been conned.

“He put the phone on a loud speaker and when Raila heard the voice of the other party, he intervened and declared it was not the CS. This ended the conversation,” says a top government official.

After informing the Dubai ruler on what was going on, Odinga flew back to Kenya and informed President Uhuru Kenyatta on the incident and how there were people trying to use his name, as well as names of people in his government to con the Dubai Royal Family.President Uhuru immediately convened a high level security meeting with top security officials as well as Raila Odinga to chart the way forward on how to nab these criminals.

A month later, President Uhuru,the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Raila Odinga would meet again in Dubai to follow up on the matter.Both Raila and Uhuru  made a stop over in Dubai while on their way from China where they had gone to attend an Infrastructure Summit.During the meeting, Sheikh Marktoum is reported to have informed President Uhuru on what happened as well as playing  the leaked audio which implicates Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula to the president.
