The amorous behaviour of a Cabinet minister from the Rift Valley has become a subject of debate within the corridors of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. While on foreign trips, the minister is said to be fond of making lonely walks into the red light districts. The man has been arrested twice in foreign cities and released after the intervention of Kenya's diplomats abroad. Some senior government officials now want to advise the President not to clear the minister for foreign trips because of his immoral conduct.
