No one, perhaps, understands Kenyans better than the Al Shabaab militia. They know that with money — and they have truckloads of it — nothing is impossible in Kenya. That’s why they can afford to brag on the internet, and they have been gloating a lot lately after their successful exploits on Kenyan soil, thus: “...Legal valid Kenya visitor’s visa with guaranteed renewal. You know $$$ (dollars) talk in Kenya.”
On this one, I think Al Shabaab is spot on. Money is our undoing as a nation. If it were not for money, it is unlikely Al Shabaab would have killed anyone in Kenya so far. For it is money they use to buy their way into the country, it is with money that they buy passports and identification cards and it’s money they use to hire jobless youths to kill other Kenyans.
