5 weeks ago i was almost arrested for double parking in nairobi cbd, they came with a breakdown and around five askaris. the guys were asking for 2000/, i negotiated till 800/. What is the highest amount that you have ever paid the askaris to get off the hook?

Jimmy, start using City Hopper or keep your car moving. It is cheaper and gives you a piece of mind. The askaris will never take anything less than 500 when they are five. They work in multiples of 100 shillings when it comes to dividing the loot. So, giving them unequal amount is like asking them to fight each other especially when most are school dropouts. They cant mentally divide 570 among five askaris to get 114, neither can they manage it on paper.
By inference, the man is all that Mr Phantom is not: an untrustworthy radical, divisive, too many enemies, a dictator, and a persistent liar...

so essentially you paid a bribe and now you want a wazuan to incriminate himself or herself here?
