Wako Blames UK, US Again
The Anglo Leasing scandal is one of Kenya’s biggest corruption scandals that dogged President Kibaki’s first term in office in 2003. It involved the setting up of fictitious companies that tendered for government projects but never provided the services or goods tendered for. And details of why journalists were thrown out of a parliamentary committee meeting investigating the multi-billion shilling Anglo Leasing scandal can now be revealed.
Impeccable sources who attended the meeting told The Standard Attorney General Amos Wako accused US and UK governments of blocking investigations into the scandals. Wako, who was accompanied by Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet, Francis Muthaura, told the Public Accounts Committee the two governments declined to allow Kenyan investigators to interrogate the key architects, a Dr Meryln Kettering and a Mr Bradley Birkenfeld.

Where's Merlyn?
While Jim Hardenbrook begins interim work for the Church of the Brethren's Sudan Initiative, long-time Management Consultant and Development Advisor Merlyn Kettering appears to have inconspicuously left the fold of General Board employement. Along with the Kenyan government, one can't help but wonder these days... where's Merlyn?

Kenya Conference
Five From Richmond Travel to Kenya
Five Richmond area residents are on their way to Nairobi. They left today for a conference in Kenya, in spite of the tarnished name of the Church of the Brethren in that country. The Swahili-language name for the conference, Kitu Kidoko, means “a little something” and describes the common exchange of favors in the Kenyan culture.
Donald Miller, emeritus professor of Christian education and ethics at Bethany Theological Seminary in Richmond, is the convener of the planning committee for the event. Two local women, Aletha Stahl and Dawn Wilhlem, also are making the trip to Kenya. Stahl, professor of French at Earlham College, will be one of five translators at the conference. Wilhelm is an assistant professor of preaching and worship at Bethany. Other planning committee members attending include Scott Holland, associate professor of peace studies and cross-cultural studies at Bethany Theological Seminary and Ben Richmond, director of North American Ministries at Friends United Meeting in Richmond. All will attend the conference. Merlyn Kettering will not be traveling with the group.

Sudan Funds in Jeopardy
Sudan Funds in Jeopardy
Funds slated for the New Sudan Council of Churches are now in question as financial scandals wrack that small country and others. While Nigeria has long been noted for its internet money scams, it seems that Kenya has troubles of its own. And where there's a Kenya connection there is also a Sudan connection.
