THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED “VULTURE CAPITALISM” that was copied from the colonial masters of the system on 12/12/1963!
This system has been ruthlessly applied in Kenya and with it, comes looting of public resources!
The meager private belongings of poor Kenyans living in cities and rural areas are are also up for grabs by these elite conniving Kenyan African vultures using ALL MEANS AT THEIR DISPOSAL!
These vultures are now dedicated PREACHERS and PROPHETS who have mastered every verse in the HOLY BIBLE ! They recite the carefully chosen verses in every encounter with their potential victims in order to calm them down before the POCKET EMPTYING onslaught begins!
They pretend to CURE DISEASES AND RAISE THE DEAD in order to get into their pockets and empty them DRY!
When the vultures get sick., they fly to foreign countries to get treatment using the public LOOTS! ORDINARY KENYANS WHO ARE LOOTED DRY are not so lucky!!
