Honestly Standard should go back to journalism school, they need to realize Kenyans are no fools. Did anyone notice that it was the only paper publishing this story? Also, it was the paper that published the story about the suspects being arrested and cuffed and all that hoopla at The Hague. Seriously, Hata Standard imepitwa na The Star. Style the hell up!!!



so it is not true? cos that is alot of money to lose hata ukiwa from the first family. But i am thinking carrying that much money,other than the weight,wouldnt someone guard that bag like nothing else? would someone just leave it lying around like its karatasi? just thinking................

This story is Rubbish. US$10 million in cash is equivalent to 1000 bundles of $100 dollar bills which are bundled into U$10,000 sets.

According to the U.S. Treasury, "In $100 bills, the weight of $1
million is about 22 pounds." [that's 10 kg.]...
http://www.ustreas.gov/press/releases/rr2748.htm

This implies that the guy was carrying 100Kg of hand luggage...

the area of a single bill is 6.6294 cm by 15.5956 cm which is
.066294 m by .155956 m = 0.0103389471 square meters

Since $1,000,000 requires 10,000 bills, the total area of the bills is
103.389471 square meters... multiply this by 10, to get $10million
and the total thickness is 124 micrometers * 10,000 = 1,240,000
micrometers = 1.24 meters.
So the height of a single stack is 1.24 meters.
And the volume of the stack is 103.389471 * 0.000124 = 0.01282 cubic meters

I rest my case.


well said.
i.am.back!!!!

I expect standard to give apologies for this story and irresponsible journalism or Kibunjia should term it hate speech
Life is an endless adventure

If it is true that such a big money was lost then it is our(tax payers) money the politician stole.God has just returned the money to the real owners and whoever has got the money should thank the almighty for returning our money.God bless.

How does someone walk around casually carrying sh 800 million? Walitoa wapi? This story doesn't add up..If it does, then Kenya ina wenyewe..

Laughing out loudly for those who have travelled abroad will agree with me there is a limit weight p/effects a passanger is allowed. Just call KQ and enquire freight charges for 100kg from hague 2 JKIA.
This story was intended to appear on 1st april.

I think the Standard group has stooped too low by feeding us what I can only term as gutter press. This story about 10 million dollars is so fake that I can only conclude that it is a malicious attempt to implicate Ruto and Uhuru of carrying contraband with an aim of having summons issued for their arrest. Thinking about it I wonder how it is possible for either of the two to carry 100kgs of cash. A simple calculation really. A 100 dollar bill weighs 1 gram. 10,000,000 dollars assuming they were in a hundred dollar bill denomination would weigh 10,000,000/100x1 which is 100,000 grams. This is 100Kgs. What's worse is the fact that airlines don't allow luggage in excess of certain weights which doesn't even come close to 100kg. again the European Union does not allow travelers to carry more than 10,000 Euros on their person while entering or exiting Europe. It is absurd that the Standard group would even put such an article on their front page. And thinking about it why don't I recall seeing the alleged bag on citizen tv's video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnChLJ3jCMY
We can no longer accept this kind of irresponsible journalism that the standard group seems to have adopted lately.

Standard cannot be taking us for a ride like that. Like njugunajohn said, irresponsible journalism to say the least!!!!! One more word for Standard, it's called RESEARCH :)
