Kenya's foreign minister has stepped aside because of a growing investigation of the miss use of his ministry's funds for several land deals abroad. "
Mr Wetangula is a key cabinet figure and helped to form the coalition in 2008 that ended the post-poll violence." Mr Wetangula is feeling that he is being hounded by office officials. He stated that, "I can assure you I will be back to the cabinet once the investigations are completed because I know I am innocent." In a parliamentary committee report, Kenya had lost 14 million dollars in a land project that was to take place in Japan. Money was also allegedly lost on embassy deals in Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan and Belgium. I hate to say it but this is one of the biggest obstacles that Africa will have to overcome to make a better future. If you can not trust your government, how will you be able to grow as coutries?

What a pity! This guy was hugely helpful in ending the recent violence in Kenya after the last elections. I found this article strangely unclear about what the accusations were. Is he accused of taking the money or of just making poor real estate decisions?
