The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has reportedly penned a protest letter to the government of Kenya demanding compensation for losses incurred in a fake gold scam involving senior Kenyan politicians and state officials.
The UAE government is alleged to be asking for a jaw-dropping Kshs 4 billion as compensation to the aggrieved royal family, a demand that is feared could trigger a diplomatic row between the two countries.
In the meantime, back home, the saga is already threatening to build a rift between opposition leaders and the government.
