The most dangerous criminals in Kenya do not commit street crimes. They are white collar thugs. They wear suits and have sweet promises of how they will transform the lives of Kenyans. They congregate under criminal gangs such as UDA, Azimio, etc.

@ Kibe you have spoken the truth. These are “petty” criminals.
