I wont bribe. I just wanted to know whether he/she just went to the chief and left it at that and how long it is going to take. Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

We thought we would deal a death blow to corruption in the judiciary by raising their salaries and allowances... Now they do not want to be scrutinized Kila kitu kiasi...kula,kunywa,kucheza na hata ujinga...

you talked of legalizing! it would never end because once this is done there will still be corruption as some guys will try to loot the 'legal' bribe. man will never be satisfied with what he/she has and therefore this vice will never be completely solved. A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing posibility.

I needed a renewal for my passport and this kubafu asks me for renewal fee that is around 8k. I really wanted it fast so that i could get a visa. He told me if i give a total of 15k all together i will get the passport in the evening. I thought the deal was sweet and obliged. I got the passport the same day............But guys do you know one thing there is a office inside nyayo house that deals with the same situation officially. You go explain your case give correct docs and you get the passport the same day without giving out a single cent so this mavi ya kuku just got my 7k for nothing....i wish i can remember his face and i will pull his balls out. Guys are out there trying to eat from a system that is corrupt free and since we are used to corruption we go there with kitu kidogo on our other pocket. life is an endless adventure

@feish Sorry for that,the guy just swindled you,as for me i refused i had my passport and some parents docs,only to be asked birth certificate even for my grand mum! He was a big joker i'm telling you and when he saw i'm getting hot under the collar that's when he pulled the grand ma and grand dad birth certi people who were born in 1930's where were birth certifcates in kenya then?? He wanted me to pass him something under the table and i refused told him where to go! and told him i can do without the ID anyway. How i wish they could have specimen notes which you can give them if they demand bribe then police ambush the dude and tell them the notes are specimen hence its evidence of them taking bribes at work and they get taken to court charged and also sacked!
