Who wants Kenya’s Central Bank Governor out? Why?

Insiders blame network of powerful enemies for avalanche of legal cases and accusations against financial regulator's boss. TEA GRAPHIC |

A complaint to the ethics and anti-corruption agency last week, calling for investigation of Central Bank of Kenya Governor Patrick Njoroge over alleged abuse of office, is the latest move in what is seen as a campaign to kick him out of office.

The complaint, filed by a law firm owned by Ahmednasir Abdullahi, acting for his Nairobi Law Monthly publication, raises questions about decisions the governor took on Imperial, Dubai and Chase banks, which had been placed under receivership.
