Nation wrote:ANGLO-LEASING SCANDAL It is a game he has played since the Kanu years when he entered into security tenders, thanks to former vice-president George Saitoti and his friendship with former National Security Intelligence Service boss Wilson Boinett.
By being close to both Prof Saitoti and Mr Boinett, the wheeler-dealer was privy to the security demands and that is how he became a key figure in the Anglo Leasing scandal.
All these contracts were for security equipment that included tamper-proof passports, forensic laboratories, helicopters, and satellite services through single-sourcing. They got this part wrong. Anglo leasing came into play during Moi's time when Joseph Magari (Wanjigi's Uncle) was Security PS and was executed by Murungaru/Mwiraria. The main players were Jimmy Wanjigi, Alfred Getonga, Chris Murungaru, Internal Security PS Dave Mwangi and Finance Secretary Joseph Oyula.
It is my understanding that JW is totally pissed off with UK for cancelling the Greenfields Terminal at JKIA. From the 50B terminal JW was to get 5B. One of his dogs is a prominent lawyer who publishes an online magazine.

This guy, save for times when his interests and the taxpayer's merge, is all money with no major help to our economy I have seen business owners sweat and go through rough times sourcing for business, dealing with staff issues, operational issues etc but they can't light a candle to this guy money wise You got to respect them, though. They've created jobs for their employees and suppliers unlike Wanjigi

Still, I can't comprehend the purpose of all that wealth and still chasing for more and more through all means possible...
But it reminds me of a homily by my former Priest.
He preached; everyone is born poor, money is only a guest in a man's life; but if he isn't careful, money becomes his host and worse is when he further sinks to become a slave to the money!
It's sad and scary what money has done to JW.

Engage in an activity long enough and it automatically becomes an unbreakable habit continually hardening by the time invested in it consciously or unconsciously. Man is simply a creature of habit.

So when Wanjigi was bank rolling TNA it was okay, but now that he is doing so for NASA things have changed!!! In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Huyu jamaa ataona cha mtema kuni. unfortunately he would always warm up to the winning side. too much money buffer and understanding of the system to be affected long term. meanwhile we continue getting screwed. Adnan Khashoggi was a dollar billionaire. Things went sideways and creditors were at his door. He didn't exactly die poor but his wealth was greatly reduced. No wealth is too great. If this guy bankrolls NASA to an extent that they give Jubilee a good scare in the polls, that will make the mafia very scared of him. They will want to neuter him and they will go after him hard. There are things that people who control state organs can do to Wanjigi that would make him very miserable, like for starters instituting proceedings and labelling him a flight risk and hence confiscation and cancellation of his passport. He could also get a multi-billion shilling tax bill...being locked out of eating was one he should have taken on the chin and cool his jets instead of picking a fight with these guys. Kenyans were dying left and right and these people still took a hardline with the docs and its not like their personal interests were at stake,...just goes to show how deep the vindictiveness can go.... I am not advocating corruption here, just thinking like a pragmatist.

To be honest, that expose has increased his stature somewhat. I can't help but feel a tinge of admiration for a guy who appears to be a king of kings in the Kenyan game of thrones. But I wonder why Kibaki let someone external become that powerful? I thought clever politicians always cut off your wings if you grow too big? At least Uhuru cut him down to size immediately he entered into office.
