Read it:
Kenya, 1990 to 2026. A Central Bank clerk stamps compensation claims for gold the country does not mine; a commission later traces billions through 487 recipients, and no court ever tries the case. From that desk the book follows East Africa's hub economy: a passport system contracted at five times a rival's quote, a Mombasa heroin family that admitted paying Kenyan officials to delay its extradition, an army accused of taxing the sugar trade of the enemy it fought, a lawyer and his client murdered by police officers, and the clerks and reporters who paid for finding out. Covers Kamlesh Pattni and Goldenberg International, John Githongo and the Anglo Leasing contracts, Baktash and Ibrahim Akasha and their Mombasa trafficking organization, and Smith & Ouzman and Kenya's electoral commission.
