This implies that the guy was carrying 100Kg of hand luggage... the area of a single bill is 6.6294 cm by 15.5956 cm which is .066294 m by .155956 m = 0.0103389471 square meters Since $1,000,000 requires 10,000 bills, the total area of the bills is 103.389471 square meters... multiply this by 10, to get $10million and the total thickness is 124 micrometers * 10,000 = 1,240,000 micrometers = 1.24 meters. So the height of a single stack is 1.24 meters. And the volume of the stack is 103.389471 * 0.000124 = 0.01282 cubic meters I rest my case. And here I was thinking liquidated assets cannot be frozen......

I dont think so... but I suspect another wazuan writes that article.... sometimes you wonder what background check the journalists do before they feed us all this crap! And google is everywhere, even on their phones. I think it should be a shame being a journalist these days.... Wale wa kitambo they used to do thorough work.

Maybe being at the hague gave someone an opportunity to be paid since pharmacies are legal over there and Kenya acts as a transit centre. All in all thats alot of money to be carried in cash  Kenya ni yetu sisi sote

True story. Have you thought that it is not actually cash but travellers cheques? Some of us who have never travelled don't know the difference The Governor of Nyeri - 2017

That story must have a KK kind of error.the weight[100kg] itself, I think cannot be allowed as a carry on in any airline. '......to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' Colossians 2:2-3

TC's died a natural death like the cassette tape (Maxell- Chrome ) if the news artcle said the colour was in 100 dollar bills... then the guys were carrying atleast 100kg as hand luggage

sa cohen- who told TC have died? Thy are the mode of travel in the west as far as I know. Ata our thugs won't carry that cash allowed. Both have travelled before. Saimo would start a fight in the indian ocean. Even if he was the only one for miles... The Governor of Nyeri - 2017

The weight allowed for carry on luggage depends on who they are dealing with...

In kenya its Amex (used to be at hilton dont knwo if they are still there) that used to issue... they no longer do. In any case, if you have TC, you get lesser value when you cash it... so it really didnt make sense. Most major organisations no longer use them. If there are still people using it, it will be a matter of time before they become another "diskett"

Thinking outside the box what if the guy want to con an insurance company by making a claim for a lost luggage. Wazuans let us think outside the box. very possible that standard media has been duped and the guys will benefit by making a claim because i expect them to have a cover fot lost luggages.Think from that angle

If it is TCs, it would not make the headlines. If you lose $10 million worth of TCs, you do not start looking for them. You simply cancel them before they are cashed. Wa_ithaka wrote:True story.

Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.

That amount can run the campaign of two political parties simultaneously..

<cP>Standard need to look even at the QUALITY of writing. Look at this line from the story:
…”However, police, though uncertain about who walked away with the cash, however suspect the politician may have, in the excitement of rushing out to be met by supporters dancing, and praising him, forgot the treasured bag.”….
seriously someone wrote this on a nationwide paper????
