So did he say register his protest at the planned sale? Did he resign as a result? The only thing that can make me give him a pass on this is if it turns out that he tipped off the three MPs who went to court over the matter. Or he was somehow working with them discreetly.

It is all too easy for people to blame Moi for the wrongs done during his time while clearly if Moi never had any enablers none of those wrongs would have been committed. In fact he would not have even held onto power in the first place. Time people were held personally accountable for their acts.

hoodrat,how much was lost and as you have put it was an error.

@mawinder don't really know just hope the errors were explained or rectified.See

Feeble attempt at maligning PK's name. I want to hear facts and loud ones like the maize scandal, water scandal, theft of stuff etc.

@Dunkang, i don't know him either, or how he got the wealth.. hence my saying, instead of speculating, bring facts on the table.
My prayer has been and remains that God would expose all these guys for us to be able to chose wisely! SO, bring facts, i can promise to be objective about it.

Insunuations

I know that someone running was involved in Molasses, hires his family members to top positions, lets not talk about oil cartels.

I know another who's family is probably the biggest mob of land grabbers in the world. May be involved in serious crimes etc etc

I know another who's name was nearly printed in 500 bob notes. May be involved in serious crimes etc etc

Those are the people I know.

As for PK. I know nothing.

Actually no one here has said categorically that any helicopter he's riding on is his. That he stole it from CMC motors.

No one here other than making long winded statements has said, categorically that he was involved in any underhanded deals.

I'm a voter. I want to know. If he stole any money, stop going writing worthless thesis in every Kenyan blog out there.

Simama kama mwanaume. Tell us.

Hizi siasa za Raila na Uhuru that are meant for the least educated amongst Kenyans should be frowned upon in a forum where people can type.

The Giant National Assuance, now I know where the money for choppers came from!!!

In red!

In Moi's Kanu the line between clean and unclean was not very clear. So for example people would go to Moi and say you have a money problem and then he would maybe call the MD of National Bank and tell him to give you some money. So you walk to National Bank and walk out with a few millions, you buy property and appear rich or if you have a good sense invest the money wisely and make even bigger returns. For as long as you toe the line nobody ever asks for the money back or if the bank writes to you to ask for payment you may go to Moi again or a powerful state house guy and the calls stop. Somehow the money becomes a bad debt or debt guaranteed by government but either way you are rich without having worked for it and not having exactly stolen.

Other ways to make money for the really huge players then was to become a supplier to government or government institutions. You buy a million paper clips for one cent each and then sell it to GOK at 10 shillings each. Technically you are just a businessman making a profit just like all businessmen do so you can call yourself clean and no court will ever find fault in your dealings. For the big boys there was NSSF. You buy a plot for say 1 million, or even better you get a government plot allocated to you by Moi (He could legally do this) then you call NSSF or have people from state house or just powerful people call NSSF and they "agree" to buy your 1 million shilling plot for 50 million after less than a year. You are still clean. Hujafanya makosa.

So anyone who was an insider in the Moi government by either being a head of a parastatal or close to the right powers could make a lot of money in legally clean but shady deals.

This is more interesting than I thought.

So now UK and RAO supporters have united against PK!

I propose UK and RAO join hands against this PK 'safi kama pamba' guy.

The elections will be won even before they start!

But seriously, PK needs to come clean on his wealth if he is clean.
