The many sins of Kenyan fraudster Ketan Somaia
Kenya-born businessman Ketan Somaia has been jailed by a UK court for conning a wealthy investor of Sh2 billion. File
Convicted fraudster Ketan Somaia spent years on the run from angry creditors whose millions of dollars he used to prop up his troubled Dolphin Group.
His rise from obscurity as a Kenyan timber-merchant to the global stage was made possible by his political connections; first to big names in the kleptocratic Kanu regime under President Daniel arap Moi, then to Tory (Conservative Party) politicians in the United Kingdom that he met through Mark Thatcher, son to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
