The nation might be on fire, but Prezzo's aide, the alleged power behind the throne, Farouk Kibet, is absorbed by something more urgent: the visions of Nominated MP Sabina Chege.

An online search of the man's name prompts you to his education, not because it's much, but because it's so scant, so "self-taught" is the best summation of Prezzo Ruto's man.

So there he was, in Lamu, presiding over meeting about this or that-who knows really, what the role of Prezzo's PA could possibly be-but it appeared Farouk was presiding over the Lamu event, introducing speakers and providing running commentaries.

He was pretty efficient, segueing who the next speaker would be, and reiterating key takeaways after they were done.
