[THREAD] So, there's a syndicate of crooks in #Kenya who have been cloning vehicle registration plates, and using random vehicles to commit crimes. A few months ago, i had tweeted about being paid a visit at my place of business by two smartly dressed plain-clothes police officers and a Chinese national.

My dog has no nose.

How does he smell?

Terrible! What's the best thing to put in a pie?

Your teeth!

So much in this story exposes the rotten systems we have in #Kenya. When transacting land/buildings/vehicles etc, the purchaser and the seller must provide their KRA PIN details. Does KRA not flag/query such transactions?

By law you can't even trade in mbuzi or kuku if you don't have the relevant health permits. The system is broken. We're shouting about sugar but we don't even know for sure where the meat we eat comes from unless we ask to see a document. Which means that this fool was either forging health certificates, or his customers weren't even bothered to ask for the certificates. Also, the health/veterinary dept guys probably weren't inspecting the samosa guys.

I think I'm going to spend a lot of time telling foreign investors about what things are REALLY LIKE Tattered infrastructure. Potholes, mad traffic jams. Erratic water supply. Ambiguous road signage. Garbage issues.
