Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua allegedly received a Sh7.6 million (£50,000) bribe from BAT while campaigning for president in 2013 to stop a rival company from giving Kenya technology to fight tobacco smuggling.
According to the Independent reported that the allegations against the Narc Kenya leader who was then Justice minister, are in a BAT corruption dossier that a whistle blower submitted.
The whistle blower, Paul Hopkins, gave the dossier to Britain's Serious Fraud Office.
Karua allegedly received the amount in cash from a middleman, while the BAT listed them as management fees and costs of anti-smuggling activities.
The Independent said British American Tobacco was supplied with documents on the five-year Sh15.2 billion (£100 million) technology contract in return.
The contract is said to have then been delayed while the company pushed for its own.
It is said that Hopkins and BAT senior regional officer Naushad Ramoly held a meeting with a member of Karua's campaign team and that the meeting was recorded.
