Medical Emergencies And Visa Hitches For Old And New Corrupt Money

Nicholas Biwott, Chris Murungaru and all the other people who have been banned from entering Britain and the United States because of how they have acquired their vast wealth have been trying to pretend that it is no big deal. But last week Kenyans were able to see how big a deal it can actually be. Especially in a medical emergency.

Former President Daniel Arap Moi needed surgery and wanted to travel to Britain to have it done by a leading world expert. His travel plans ran into a hitch because he could not get a visa for his personal assistant for many years, Joshua Kulei, to travel with him. A visa for his favorite son, Gideon (MP for Baringo Central) also proved to be very dodgy (to use a little British English). The former President was forced to have his operation in Germany instead. His London based doctor was forced to travel to Germany to attend to his patient (the invoice must have been horrific to say the least).

Now supposing some medical emergency crops up involving one Chris Murungaru or Nicholas Biwott for that matter? It became clear this week that even if certain individuals were on the verge of death, getting even an airline ticket to fly into Britain or the United States would be impossible.

This should be good news for the long-suffering Kenyan public. It means that despite everything, the noose is tightening slowly but surely around the chubby necks of those who chose to rob Kenya blind, and one day soon the old English saying will be proved accurate yet again; what goes round comes around.
