Kenya: Parliament forgives looters of billions prior to 2003

The final gambit has commenced. The Parliament of Kenya has given corruption perpetrators an amnesty for corruption committed prior to May 2003. In the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2007, approved by Parliament on Thursday 6th September 2007 and moved by the Attorney-General and the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, was an amnesty provision that hitherto had attracted almost no public comment.
