Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo has revealed the media house that knew about the fake gold scandal long before it burst into the limelight.
Speaking on AM Live on Tuesday, the respected lawyer said that one Zhandi who works for the Dubai royal family approached the Nation in February with claims that the royal family had been duped.
The publication did not, however, publish Zhandi's claims because, according to the Rarieda legislator, it did not find the story juicy enough.
"Suddenly, and I think from last week, this matter burst out in all the media houses at the same time. I think that the only media house that owned up to knowing about it was the Nation. There are references that Mr Zhandi had complained to the Nation sometimes in February but the Nation did not find the story juicy enough or the need to air it, " Otiende said.
A number of people have been arrested and arraigned in court over the fake gold scam.
Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula who has been named by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) as a person of interest is expected to be grilled when he jets back into the country from China.
