I remember he also featured the guy on Ronald Ngala street who offers jobs abroad. The fellow boasted that he stole money from his previous employer to start his biz.
Simon,
if you are a member here please delete these stories from BD and ask Google to 'forget' them.
You are giving legitimacy to these cons! They hung such stories in their offices and gullible Kenyans think it is an endorsement.
Most Kenyan journalists a pure idiots! They don't do even basic background checks!!! I have even seen articles of people I know purporting to be doing their PhD. (And that is a big part of the story given the structure and purpose of the story) yet they haven't even completed their masters!!! How hard is it to visit or call a University to confirm such basic stuff!!!
I think we should just stick to calling them reporters because that is exactly what most of them do. Just tell them what you want and they will report!!! You can tell them that 20% of Uganda was owned by your grandfather but you sold it to Museveni and used the money to buy the University of South Africa so that you could provide free Education to Syrian refugees and the idiots will report exactly that!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
