The US ambassador is always boasting how the US is the model of transparency to be emulated by all. How the hell does he explain an individual being able to rip off $50 billion from people?? Almost 4 trillion kenya shillings! In broad daylight! With the world's most expensive government bureaucracy watching! The man he thinks he can,and the one who thinks he can't are both right. Which one are you?

don't look at the cash as if is a lot. look at the percentage change the money would cause in the country's economy and you discover it is far much lower than kenya's A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing posibility.

1) Madoff stole from individuals. It was a pyramid scheme. Kenyan politicians steal from the taxpayers! 2) $50 bn was the amount that maddoff told his investors the fund is worth. He did not get $50bn from them. 3) HSBC & Santander were idiots to invest with madoff. And they are no US banks. There will always be corrupt individuals but the overall theft/corruption is much much lower than Kenya... And madoff was taken to court & will be jailed. Where are the perpetrators of DECI,sasanet (among others)? Greedy when others are fearful,Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase WB

In the true spirit of being a son of Kenya,I propose that we in turn burn Madoff Pyramid and Mark Thatcher and their entire families from ever setting foot on Kenyan soil. You cannot all of a sudden become sooo clever.... All that matters is character

Sorry to diappoint you but get your facts right. The USA is as big as Africa so your figures comparing to Kenya are seriously flawed. GDP is ions away from Kenya so a guy stealing the Kenyan trillions you just mentioned cannot be compared. However let us look at a few facts about your flowery Kenya 1. I have to honga a cop and call it a business expense.- only happens in Kenya and maybe South Africa. 2. I have to buy you,yes you,tea for you to do your job- doesn't happen in america 3. Mungiki roams free- Even the mafia is dead in america and i only pay my taxes 4. President crys for his gal but not for turkana - would be fired in america 5. you vote in guys because he's your tribe - need I say more? 6. the land you are buying may have been a proposed river - this only in kenya 7. you still go to nakumatt even with gas cylinders one day after they kill people there - nakumatt would have been past tense even in Latvia 8. You pretend unazo - lakini hauna! only in Kenya 9. Corruption my friend is a Kenyan phenomenon. I know you have hongad someone. In fact I can bet everyone on sk has hongad someone to get something.- Not in america. I am what I am because of what I do. If I am broke,its my fault. if I am rich,its my fault. Next time you post,post with some evidence. Not using the usual Kenyan nonsence. We want to help but some of us have learned that you guys are all just upusi!!!
