True. Unless he threaten the political eating class. If he goes silent - then nobody will care he exists. If he was to fight the gov of the day - they will bring his scandals.
It very unlikely he will be useful to anybody post Uhuru - so he wont be at eating table.
Eating is cut throat - and nobody will invite half-been - when hungrier more useful people will be around. He is now eating because he is powerful - and project power intelligently - as long as civil servant knows you speak to Uhuru - they will do as Murathe and friend wish. It question of calling the CEO - and ordering them give Chinese X a contract - or they get fired. Once it been signed - you collect your money cash - from Chinese.
His best scheme now is to become Uhuru's political PA post 2022 - so he can eat Uhuru pension - monthly will be 150M - enough to hire many such characters.
No leader in Kenya has ever sent a fellow looter to jail. Murathe will be around no matter who leades Kenya in 2023. Kenyan looter know each other and he will be needed for his knowledge on how to loot better.
