S.K Macharia once lost a parliamentary election to David Murathe. A scandal later arose involving an alleged bribery scheme and a fraudulent resignation. Macharia reportedly paid David Murathe Sh10 million in an attempt to get Murathe to vacate the legislative seat so the Royal Media Services boss could enter parliament via a subsequent by-election.
A letter indicating Murathe's resignation mysteriously surfaced and was presented to the Speaker of the National Assembly. While the Speaker initially found the signature authentic, Murathe vehemently denied resigning, claimed the letter was a forgery, and refused to step down.
Macharia took the matter to court and later publically demanded that Murathe admit to cheating him out of the cash. Murathe counter-claimed that the money was for pending legal fees stemming from election petitions. The fallout from this 1997 election remains one of Kenya's most infamous political dramas, frequently cited by local politicians to question Murathe's political integrity.
