    This fool is spoiling for all other hard working Kenyans and those who wished to find a job in Dubai. Unless he planned this over months, he ain't going nowhere. Lucky if you get life in prison.

    Evil begets evil. No short cuts to riches. Hard work is what will make you rich and not stealing. They will get you for sure and at the end of it all, you will pay dearly. You were overcome by evil instead of you overcoming evil. A heavy price is for you to pay.

    Theft crime: he will receive 1000 lashes by hour and later stoned to death. Why is this diabolical and greedy idiot spoiling things for every Kenyan working hard there? Arabs are not to be messed with. I pray they catch him so his punishment can be a great example of what not to do.

    80% of employees are stealing, time money or products. Its how u do it that matters. and some employers deserve that from how they treat employees. If you're smart and don't get caught, kudos brother! If u r stupid.... U DIE POOR
