FBI to Help Kenya Pin Down Graft Lords, US Ambassador Kyle McCarter Says
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is set to help Kenyan investigative agencies to probe high profile corruption cases.
This was revealed by United States Ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter following a meeting with officials from Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
Ambassador McCarter said the US agency will assist Kenya’s investigative authorities such as EACC and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to come up with strong cases against graft lords. He further said the FBI will share intelligence on asset tracking and recovery with the Kenyan authorities.
McCarter, who spoke after talks with EACC CEO Twalib Mbarak and Chairman Eliud Wabukhala at Integrity Centre in Nairobi, declined to give specific details of the cases the FBI will be involved in.
“We don’t have to advertise everything we do because we don’t want to educate criminals. The criminals will be caught by surprise,” McCarter said.
“The people of Kenya deserve justice and we are going to deploy every resource. We want to win the war on corruption and that is our focus,” he added.
McCarter said he is committed to ensuring that all assets stashed in the US by corrupt individuals are returned to Kenya.

Mr McCarter,
You are a guest. Do not talk on behalf of Kenyan's.
Please don't help or talk about help to Kenyan's. Our country is 50 years old. For 50 years we have been helped. Listen to what Africans want from the President of Ghana. We want to do it ourselves and fail. We want to fail and fail again ourselves so we can learn. Direct your help to our black brothers in the US who have a lot of issues and desperately need your help. I am sure by now the West is tired of helping Africans as much as we are tired of being helped. The feeling is mutual. As the west works to make their place white again, Africans should also work to make Africa black again.
Africa is moving forward in it's own path.

This deal will automatically fire the Ambassador job ASAP cause it will undermine the US agenda across the globe.
Just few minutes ago the US policy advertise to the filthy richest Kenyans to invest in their country for the name of promoting employment.
"At least 20 Kenyans are in the process of acquiring US Employment-Based Visa, popularly known as EB-5 Visa, US-based private equity company has divulged."
My countrymen at this juncture we must take matters on our own hand by dealing severely with the hyenas among us. Clearly the US, BBI, adjust constitution and the courts does and will never him for yearly gone and to come as is true on the history of all African counties. The way out is deep cleaning from the core rot upwards - AND this begins on being on the STREETS for long term demos.
