Everyone knows how anti-corruption czar John Githongo blew the whistle on state-wide graft. Details of these were documented in Michela Wrong’s 2009 best seller It’s Our Turn to Eat. The story of a Kenyan whistleblower.
For his role in exposing the Anglo Leasing scandal from right within the Kibaki political establishment, the former PS Ethics and Governance had to flee into exile in the UK to escape the threat of assassination.
Now, a pan African studio, Restless Global, is working on an adaptation of the book into a feature film titled State of Betrayal.
