Daniel arap Moi and Mobutu Sese Seko on the same level?
This is what citizen journalism is all about. Earlier today somebody left links in this blog about a leaked report by a leading international private investigations organization called Kroll.
The report and extracts copied from it are shocking to say the least.
Investigators compiling the Kroll report were able to establish a clear link between one of the biggest money launders in Europe, based in Geneva, called Gabriel Moussa Katri nd the Mois. Brilliantly using his Kenyan clients, Katri is said to have been the main person behind the channeling of vast amounts of money looted from Nigeria by the then president Sani Abacha which was channeled through Kenya's Trans National Bank onto various offshore destinations.
The main contact at Trans National Bank was Ashok Gohil (who died in 2001) and was Kulei's right hand man. One of the things Gohil did to facilitate his illegal activities was to set up companies in Kenya where ODM Kenya's Mutula Kilonzo was the main director. This included companies like Ashar Limited and Chen.
Finance and especially the dizzying financial transactions that are the hallmark of money laundering, which is an illegal activity for criminals, can get a little boring. However the main questions Kenyans need to ask themselves are where these huge sums of money coming from Kenya and being transferred abroad by the Mois was coming from. It is estimated that Moi and his associates transferred at least double what Sani Abacha laundered through Kenya. That is US$400 million through Katri alone and his Trans national bank conduit. What business were the Mois involved that would have generated this amount of cash? Already investigators have established that Joshua Kulei's wealth can not be justified by any dividends that could have accrued from the myriad of companies he is said to have had a stake in. Leaving everybody with only one conclusion, that this was corrupt money and in many cases looted funds from tax payers' money.
Further there were very significant legal reasons to use banks rather than transfer the corrupt money directly abroad. For starters most of the Western countries where the funds were pouring into have laws designed to check money laundering. However Nostro accounts belonging to genuine banks are never questioned and this is what Katri used for his two big clients in this case, namely Sani Abacha and Daniel Moi.
Katri's genius for hiding corrupt money did not end there. He further used wealthy friends to hide the money by paying it out to their accounts, only for the same funds to be paid back through another account belonging to the same business associates.
Katri has gone underground since 2001 when he lost his Financial intermediary license when the Swiss authorities started investigating his money laundering activities through Kenya using Kulei.
Meanwhile more HOT news from Orange House...
The mother of all general elections is now less than 4 months away and things are getting HOT.
There have been all sorts of rumours circulating including one ridiculous one that Raila will step down for Musalia. I asked our ODM specialist Phil and his reply which some of you may have missed almost made me fall off my chair. Read it for yourself below;
Hey Chris,
You are right, that rumour is very true, but in my opinion such an action is premature.
And again, only Raila himself will decide whether to drop his candidature or not. Besides, his commitment is so deep that we know he is running at least three fully fledged campaign secretariats and he has his own personal council of professional advisors.
Though everyone, including Raila, is in agreement that an ODM win overrides all other interests, because no one wants another stint in opposition benches!
I think it would be suicidal to name Mudavadi on Saturday and make him an obvious target for Kibaki and company. (Remember they have all the Goldenberg, NBK and KCB files).....Mudavadi as a politician, a business person and family man cannot fight the government machinery on his own.
Another rumour is that ODM aspirants could all drop their bids at the last minute for another Kikuyu candidate. He may be voted in through the Dagoretti constituency seat. He will appeal to the youth, other tribes as well as donors. His name is John Githongo. And in his first public speech as an ODM candidate, he will unleash the mother of all bombshells - a recorded discussion with the Head of State urging him 'to look the other way'.... Moi,Kibaki Tena crowd or even Derek here will not have an answer to that tsunami.
Am told that Uhuru Kenyatta is having some serious soul searching about recent political developments and is weighing implications of throwing his weight with the ODM, and to a lesser extent ODM-K lot. He may even make an appearance at Kasarani today or tomorrow.
Yes, Chris, I'd say it is a possibility for Raila to drop a bombshell, but not so soon, probably towards end October, early November when the picture will be much clearer....right now it is still a little fuzzy. Let Kibaki declare his party of choice and launch his vision, then you will see fire works.
Remember NO ONE, including our famed NSIS saw the recapture of original ODM party from Lawyer Mugambi Imanyara...could he have been Raila's long term strategic plan?

The emergence of Jackson Mandago's name as one of the possible persons of interest in the Finland Scholarship scam (after all he was governor when the scheme was launched) is bound to raise political temperatures considerably at a time when the Ruto administration is so shaky and under so much pressure.
Mandago finds himself in a vulnerable position due to his love-hate relationship with Ruto in the past opening the possibility of the president succumbing to pressure and throwing him under the bus.
