“The most disturbing thing is the implication that the Kenyan security services is essentially in business with al-Shabab,” said John Githongo, a former senior anti-corruption official in the Kenyan government who is now a prominent activist. “Kenya, which is facing the nastiest political threat we’ve ever faced, is in business with them.
