Statement of the decade. I am pinching it for the Kenyan Economy creating wealth thread if you do not mind. On Kidero; the man made good money but got greedy and looted. I think the looting proper started in Mumias which was no NationGroup or well run multinational. It was here in this quasi-public company that he learnt things he never encountered in the corporate world like "orders from above." He must have been getting calls from all quarters telling him to dish out the loot and sadly he succumbed and did the same, figuring out that "this is the way things are" in Kenya. Funny that he keeps pointing to the cooked books that say he left Mumias making "profits" yet a real audit revealed proper cooking in the billions that made a dead dog look like a healthy stallion of a company as he left it. Then the looting only got bigger. To this day I cannot remember a single major development initiative he did as governor, but he was always on TV quoting facts and figures including how many tons of garbage Nairobi generated in theory, without collecting it in practice. He may have invested well and grown his wealth cleanly up until he left the corporate world, but beyond even a primary school boy knows this man looted Mumias and Nairobi County dry. The chickens are coming to roost now. Those transactions are there. Sonko had them way before Kidero's term expired. The courts already have them on many of his swarms of other corruption cases. Let us hope they nail this man properly to be an example to all to never dare steal so brazenly from Kenyans again.

The forlorn look on his face reveals a lot. The cases have worn him out, friends and hangers on are gone and if left standing on beaten benches in court rooms.

If i were him a would enter a plea bargain and get a concession and be free. Cases, even minor infractions can wear out both the body and soul

Without sounding sadistic but kansa is eating the thief ever so slowly and all the billions he stole can do nothing about it.

Haiya!.No wonder the slimpossible look.

Kansa ya wapi?

Maybe like someone dayd he can return public property and ask for forgiveness.We may feel sorry and let him be.Pole to him though.

At GSK he formed a company with a lady called Kimbo & the Adanganya@Mswaribank to form a drugs distribution company. Of course you know where the drugs were coming from - long story.

And where is he now as his friend faces all these troubles?

Somewhere.He is co-accused in this last case but the bugger is rare in public. Terrible fellow.

I don't think it's ever enough. Once you start it becomes a compulsion.
