[LONG READ] [MEDIA RESPONSE]
After all the media frenzy, I’ve been forced to respond with a handwritten letter through my brother who has come to visit me.
My life was darkest in 2015 and after that I decided nothing will ever take me back to that dark time. Not anyone. Not even this and certainly the media twisting facts. Hence my phrase ‘Nothing can stop me, I’m all the way up…’ I’m sure most of you are familiar with the lyrics. I’m always smiling. Even now, I have learned to love myself. And trust me, I’ve never loved myself more than I do now.
Now, since 2015 I’ve never taken time off. I struggled with a lot of things but eventually overcame all. So, 2017 is here and what do I do? I decided one of my new year’s resolution is a trip of East and Southern Africa and one international trip. I buy my international ticket and embark on the east African trip. From city to city. On bus. No flying- too expensive – and I document everything on my FB timeline. By the time, I get to Tz, I’ve spend 73k, already broke and the deadline to register as a voter is quickly approaching. I decided to come back. Now, it has all been twisted as ‘living large’. Wow. But I understand people have to make a living- in this case selling more copies.
By March I have ticked two resolutions for this year. I get back, I’m arrested. Why? KRA has lost 4B. Not a million but billion. When they told me that, I laughed. I laugh even now. I’m not stupid. Clearly, I’m the patsy. Those big cajunas at KRA looted the cash and then in a smoke-filled room, smoking their cubans – forgive my imagination, it probably was an office- decided this.
“Oh, this Alex boy just went on a trip and stupidly plastered it all over FB. What’s more, he has a similar case. Perfect! Go get him.”
Anyone with half a brain can figure that out. Four billion doesn’t just disappear like that without anyone noticing- for years. Even slowly.

Here are the facts
1. I DO NOT have 4B, or any part of 4B. In fact, my life’s savings are not even remotely close to one billion, let alone four!
2. I have NEVER worked at KRA nor do I know anyone who works there. If I did then I do not believe I’d have queued all those hours renewing my license or transferring my bike ownership. Those queues are just life draining.
3. I believe this is a test and just like every storm, it will pass and I will emerge victorious. The truth never stays hidden. All will be revealed in due time. God’s time is the best. For now, I’ll keep smiling and praying.
4. Everyone who knows me personally knows that I don’t like asking everyone for it. My bail ruling is coming up on the 28th of March and I’m praying and hoping for two things. One that I be granted bail and two, it’s a REASONABLE amount. Now reasonable of course is relative to everyone and for me that’s 100k as that’s what I can afford. But I’m not the magistrate. All I can do is wait.
On that note, I’m humbly asking each and everyone to help me however they can. It can be through a contribution, praying for me or even coming to give me moral support on 28th. I f you would like to contribute towards my bail, here is how.

The little you have; be it 100,200,500… 1M etc., or even that 4B, I’ll forever be grateful and will remember it as the time Kenya stood by me. If I had this 4B, trust me I wouldn’t be asking. I’d just use part of it to pay but I don’t have it.
Lastly, here is my advice. Let no one steal your joy. Live your life to the fullest like I do. I learned the hard way that life is a precious gift from God and every moment should be treasured. That’s why I will never stop smiling. No matter what. Peace.
Please share with everyone…friends, groups, WhatsApp etc.
Love, Alex.
Signed.
P.S: For now, my Facebook account is under my brother’s control so he can’t respond to messages, comments etc. but I hope I will do so soon.

Now this "hacker" is funny.

With "4B" the best he could do was a house in Roysambu/Zimmerman,A black Subaru SG model with gold alloy rims and that motor bike anf a white dog then floss all over.

Silly young man.

so all those 843 bullion kra has sitting in its account/digital safe (not an account with whichever bank or central bank) which can be hacked to be stollen? so if your bank gets hacked and money stollen from your bank account the story would be how murchr was hacked? should it not be how your bank was hacked?

the only way this whole thing makes sense is if a guy reduced tax obligations of certain companies and the sum total reduction was 4B and was paid by the said companies a fraction of the amount he "saved" them from.
Nothing else makes any sense!! nothing!! Kuiba from Kra? thats like stealing from their bank accounts... thats on the banks side. not KRA!! nothing about the 'stealing from KRA' claim makes any sense!

I am imagining they do... but for a "hack" to deprive them of money it has to be "money" in electronic form - right? A hacker does not automate robots to get away with gunias full of hard cash - right?

the crooks had formed an international band that installed malware into the systems that allowed them to take control of the institutions’ computers and steal what police sources said would run into hundreds of millions.

so what you are saying is that KRA has electronic money in its systems?

Yaani you steal from KRA internal software system! - then how and where do you encash the value?

On Wednesday evening, KRA confirmed that its staff members had been part of the syndicate and were under arrest. Commissioner General John Njiraini said KRA “played a key role in unearthing the crime … whose outcome has been the arrest of several suspects among them KRA staff in the ICT department”.

The cybercrime syndicate was operating in the Nairobi CBD, Muthaiga, Thika, and Roysambu, and had been robbing banks using Salami attacks (kidogo kidogo) and electronic transfers as well as trafficking drugs. They have also been colluding with motor vehicle importers to evade tax and were illegally registering them. During the crackdown, police recovered several vehicle number plates from one of the houses.........

At the KRA offices in Nairobi, detectives discovered a laptop hidden within the network chambers “and connected through port 11” which allowed Mr Ogalo to have unfettered access to the system.

In Ogalo’s house, police said they found an AK47 rifle, computers, mini servers, cables, hard disks and a narcotic substance whose samples were taken to the Government Chemist for verification and classification. Ogalo is also sought by the Banking Fraud Investigation Unit (BFID), and is suspected to have been involved in the theft of Sh50 million from the Kenya Police Sacco.

exactly... it makes sense...
<-- YES BANKS...SALAMI ATTACKS ONLY WORKS WITH BANKS OR AIRTIME E.T.C. basically move small amounts around to where someone else can use them or take them off the system. That cannot happen with KRA coz they don't have electronic currency that someone can 'use' or 'take out'

now this is what from the onset I was saying... the only way you can 'rob' KRA (directly) would be reducing tax obligations of people. A car is supposed to attract a tax of 300k, you pay 100k... it looks like 300k on the system. you pay the guy who 'facilitated' 100k!
