Fellow Citizens:
Even Kenya now want to make some extra money from idi Amin's Regime. There
was a time when The Tanzanians drained the UPC government dry, when the
Tanzanian claimed that Ugandans Must pay ( in form of Maize Mill shipped daily
to Tanzania to help starving Tanzanian) as some sort of payment to Tanzania for
helping in the "Liberation" of Uganda. Now the Tanzanian are in cohorts with
Museveni to oppress the people !! Like I one stated watch the waswahili these
washahili bastards are sneaky... Indeed we now have the TPDF Muswahili Chief of
De fence forces now hobnobbing with Museveni, so to say, in a move to oppress
the people of Uganda..

How Amin robbed Kenya of billions
Story by JOHN KAMAU
Publication Date: 11/26/2006
Kenyans lost property worth more than Sh5 billion, at the
current exchange rates, after the late Ugandan dictator Idi Amin kicked off a
diplomatic row with Jomo Kenyatta some 30 years ago, newly declassified papers
reveal.
Mr Amin
The money is enough to run the ministry of Agriculture for one
year.
The hitherto confidential papers also indicate how close Kenya
went to a war with Uganda in July 1976 after Amin stepped up a hate campaign
against the Kenyatta government.
As a result, Kenyatta privately warned Amin to either stop the
killings of Ugandans and other nationals, pay up Kenya's monies or else ...
Part of the items seized that period included a car belonging
to Mr Peter Muigai Kenyatta â?" then an assistant minister for Foreign Affairs
â?" while accounts of Timsales Ltd, which the Kenyatta family had interests in,
were blocked.
Besides touching the Kenyatta family, assets belonging to
Kenyan companies were seized and nationalised. They included the Uganda
Brewery, a subsidiary of the East African Brewery, which in 1971 made a record
after placing the largest public share issue in Kenya's history. By the time it
was seized the brewery had assets worth Sh61 million, equivalent to Sh530
million at current exchange rates.
Other notables who lost property and money in the looting spree
were Chandaria Industries, Car & General (which was nationalised). Then
Attorney-General Charles Njonjo's first-cousin Andrew Mungai Muthemba's
company, Kentazuga Hardware, lost goods worth Sh452,000 (Sh4 million at current
rates).
In a last-ditch effort, Kenya summoned foreign diplomats in
Nairobi and issued the warning to Uganda on the morning of July 27, 1976.
"We are not a rich country and we cannot be expected to
continue to subsidise Uganda's economyâ?" [Again] when we talk peace, we do not
only mean peace between States: we mean peace between States and within each
State," said the classified document given to diplomats by Foreign minister
Munyua Waiyaki.
It now appears that Amin was sending mixed signals on whether
to pay the Kenyan debts. A secret memo prepared by the ministry of Foreign
Affairs says that "Uganda's position in this matter has been changing rapidly
from time to time. At one time, the Ugandan president ordered that all debts to
Kenya should be paid, at another time he claimed that Uganda owes Kenya
nothing."
The memo, to be used in further discussion, accuses Uganda of
trying to influence the international community "by indicating that what we say
are debts owed by Uganda to Kenya are in actual fact confiscated wealth of
Ugandan and British citizens of Asian origin who were expelled from Uganda."
Mzee Kenyatta
"Kenya should stand firm and cite some cases such as the Kenya
Co-opertaive Creameries to disapprove Uganda's case, says the declassified
note.
KCC lost products worth Sh22 million (Sh191 million at the
current rates).
That week an incensed Dr Waiyaki had returned from New York
where he addressed a UN Security Council sitting after Amin dragged Kenya into
its row with Israel over the Entebbe Raid. Dr Waiyaki's statement to the
council has also been declassified.
Also declassified is a partial list of Kenyans who died in the
hands of Ugandan forces between January 1971 and July 1976 and include the
missing freedom fighter, Kungu Karumba who went missing in Uganda on June 14,
1974.
Behind the scenes, Kenya's then Foreign minister Munyua Waiyaki
tried to negotiate for the return of the seized assets â?" houses, cash, plots
and shares â?" but Amin accelerated his reign of terror by grabbing more
Kenyans and their assets. The papers reveal that a week after Kenya issued its
final warning to Uganda, a delegation from Kampala arrived at the Office of the
President in Nairobi to talk peace and Dr Waiyaki repeated his earlier warning
that Amin must stop "piratical and criminal activities of [his] undisciplined
army."
The Foreign Affairs minister had earlier taken his demands to
the UN where he tabled the list of accounts that Amin had frozen, names of
assets seized, and nationalised.
The ex-Ugandan strongman, who died in exile, was finally
toppled by Tanzania's Julius Nyerere's soldiers on April 11, 1979.
In the meeting with diplomats Dr Waiyaki laid out an ultimatum:
Uganda must stop all acts of belligerence against Kenya and laying claims on
any part of Kenyan territory.
Secondly, Kenya demanded that Amin stops "killing of innocent
Kenyans legally residing in Uganda" and "stop hate and smear campaign which is
giving us a bad name internationally."
Part of Kenya's anger was that Amin had stated that Kenya
colluded with Israel, then a pariah state, during the Entebbe Raid, and that it
was holding Palestinian prisoners.
Kenya defended itself: "We have stated before and we reiterate
again that we have never held any Palestinian prisoners â?" we did not directly
or indirectly take part in the Israeli Operation at Entebbe on July 3/4, 1976.
Our action to allow the Israelis to land in Nairobi after the operation was
purely on humanitarian grounds."
The Israelis raided Entebbe airport where four pro-Palestinian
militants had flown an Air France flight with 250 people on board.
