(Reuters) - Security guards stand outside the Grand Regency Hotel in Nairobi, June 29, 2008. Corruption watchdogs and senior politicians rounded on Kenyan Finance Minister Amos Kimunya on Sunday over the sale of a luxury Nairobi hotel to Libyan investors in a deal they said had the whiff of scandal. Some called for the resignation of Kimunya -- at the helm of east Africa's largest economy since 2006 -- after he announced on Friday the Grand Regency went for 2.9 billion Kenya shillings ($45 million) in a government-to-government deal.
