A twenty-four-year-old woman is accusing one of Kenya’s most powerful man for being a ‘dead beat father’. Vivianne Nyange claims Lawrence Lenayapa, the Comptroller of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s State House impregnated her when she was a third-year student at a college in Voi. Vivianne recalls their meeting in July 2011, “when a friend told me that I had been offered a chance to entertain a permanent secretary. Lenayapa was then Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources. He was coming to visit our college.”

"Sh3m" seems to mean 3 million Kenyan shillings, which apparently equals about $30,000 US. So the title means the State House boss promised (her) 3 million Kenyan shillings if she would raise the child in secret, so as to not damage his political standing.
