@Ceinz thanks for the info. Profit Sharing... lol. People don't understand- it's all the same worldwide. Everyone wants their cut. Corruption is everywhere. It seems to be one-off payments there, but here, it is constant. It's just dressed up and formal, but make no mistake, wheels must always be greased.

@MatataMingi - I don't know about in Kenya, but in the US, young people at malls = lots of theft. They usually don't have the money to buy anything except food from the food court, yet they cause trouble and steal, and then you have to pay Police to watch your stores... that's right... PAY POLICE. Here they say it's "off-shift work" or "special assignment", and it is ongoing. It can easily cost you 20,000 Ksh PER NIGHT. Same with a bash... pay police. And, if you have kids in your store, you need special slip-and-fall insurance coverage which can cost you a couple million Ksh a year. You usually have to be as big as Nakumatt or Tusky's here in the US, or your business will likely either fail or not make any real money - barriers to entry are too high. Big Corporate has all but crushed the "little guy" and banks and their usury are killing the "middle guy". That's why I'm looking forward to doing business in Kenya.
