Kenya: Police Find Firearms in Siege on Odinga's Funder's Home

Police say they found firearms in a raid on billionaire Jimi Wanjigi's homes in Nairobi, Mombasa and Malindi. Wanjigi, a tenderpreneur of presidents Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki, and the early years of the Uhuru Kenyatta regimes, is credited with being a key financier of Raila Odinga's National Super Alliance party and having played a key role in its campaigns as the funds mobiliser.
