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.


Cool it off my brother... you might sound worse than The Standard... Even with all their lack of background check or research, they never mentioned anyone's name. how did you conclude it was these two?? It could have been anyone... except sang may be...

KTN officially apologies on behalf of Standard on the article. Next time these sewage journalists must confirm facts before publishing nonsense.

My goodness! Journalism has gone to the dogs. So the excuse that they gave is that some people are going around newsrooms spreading false NEWS? and they picked up the story and wrote it like they had facts and even said that they can't name the sources? Wohohoho ......

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.


or may be he is the guy who writes the sunday nation article .i guess its called 'world of figures' or something like that.

Shame on you
The guy who writes ' world of figures' is a very respected elder in wazua.
Lolest!
