Narco Inc. Episode 4 - The Politicians [Harun Mwau, William Kabogo, Mike Sonko & Hassan Joho]

Welcome to the conclusion of "Narco Inc," the series that unravels the dark web of drug trafficking in Kenya. In this explosive final installment, we expose the murky nexus between power, politics, and narcotics, featuring some of Kenya's most prominent and controversial figures: Harun Mwau, Hassan Joho, Mike Sonko, William Kabogo, and George Saitoti.

After the monumental bust of over 1 tonne of cocaine in Malindi in 2004, Kenya found itself thrust into the international spotlight. The United States government swiftly identified Kenya as a critical node in the global narcotics trade, pointing fingers at notorious drug traffickers operating under the guise of political legitimacy.

At the forefront of this expose is Harun Mwau, a seasoned politician who served under Presidents Moi and Kibaki. Once a respected figure, Mwau's reputation crumbled as the U.S. government labeled him a high-level trafficker, resulting in sanctions and a ban from entering Europe.

But Mwau wasn't the only one under scrutiny. The U.S. later named Hassan Joho, Mike Sonko, and William Kabogo as suspected drug traffickers, raising eyebrows and stirring controversy in Kenyan politics. Each of these figures has wielded significant influence and garnered substantial support, but their alleged connections to the drug trade cast a long shadow over their public personas.

In this episode, we explore how these politicians navigated their dual roles, balancing public service with alleged illicit activities. We also revisit the tragic story of George Saitoti, the former Vice President and Security Minister, whose relentless pursuit of justice and commitment to exposing the truth ultimately led to his untimely death.

Join us as we uncover the intricate schemes, power plays, and clandestine operations that have defined Kenya's political landscape and drug trade. This episode promises to be a captivating and eye-opening finale that will leave you questioning the true cost of power and influence.
