People do not steal because they are unemployed. Otherwise our political thieves would never do it.
Am never worried about my family, they will live as long as fate has it, my great grand pa lived over 100 yrs, my grandpa is heading to 100 and life is not more riskier now than it was some years ago so please, cut us some slack with your long vibe and live life. Even huko majuu they die daily.
Politicians steal because they can get away with stealing without going to jail. And they can get away with it because they are tribal chiefs or are connected to tribal chiefs.
But these brazen thugs are stealing while knowing fully well that they can be shot by police and killed or even worse go to Kamiti maximum. But its not a deterrent because they are unemployed, broke and frustrated. Its a deadly combination that drives many people to do such desperate things and engage in this kind of crime. Not all but a significant amount.
You don't have to believe me. Research after research has been done to prove that there is a direct correlation between unemployment and crime.
