Dead Men Suing: How Lawyers and Top Managers Plotted 20-Year Theft of Retirees Benefits

There should be a second part to this. How Brian was able to connect the different aspects, including an unrelated contractor is exemplary. This is investigative journalism at its best.

[@taucetus3657]

Freedom is not free. To be free from all the cartels in Kenya means toppling the government there because a lot of the cartels you see in Kenya are mostly government officials and police officers who use their positions to bilk ordinary Kenyans out of their hard earned cash... it is not like they make life any easier do they? Why do they do it? Because they know the average Kenyan is a coward, unwilling to shed blood, but willing to take the easy way out which is to sit things out in silence, hoping that things change... but nothing really does change does it?... To be honest, sacrifice is hard and it is something which is easier said than done. So unless Kenyans wake up and one day remove the government, eliminate all its thugs, go after the thug's families and all their descendants, tear their stolen wealth up and out of Kenya, eliminate entire family trees of those who have benefited from theft of public resources, and be willing to tear Kenya itself to the ground and rebuild a new nation out of the ashes and dead bodies of the old Kenya, Kenya will remain the best place where thieves from all over the world can thrive at doing what they do best... stealing!
