Danson Mungatana was once the rising star in Mijikenda politics, some would even say the heir apparent to control the vast coastal region.

The former Garsen Mp lost his bid to become Tana River governor when he came in fourth last year. But it seems that loss would be the least of his troubles as he has now lost a huge chunk of money this year.

How much exactly? 76 million shillings!!! According to the tabloid the Nairobian, Mungatana got involved with some West African con-men who fleeced him of this huge sum of money.

How did he lose the money exactly? 

Mungantana was hooked by the quick lie that most con-men use, the get rich quick scheme.

What happened is that the conmen who were identified as Malians Abdoulaye Tamba Kouro, his son, Abdala Tamba and Kenyan Anthony Mangangi Munyiva, identified Danson as a potential mark among 8 other prominent Kenyans.

That is how the smart politician lost 76 million shillings! This is the first time I have gone through a Mungatana story without mentioning Cecilia Mwangi or his wife Mwanaisha Chidzuga! Damn it! I have now, have n't I?
