James Hardine writes "Holy cow. Wikileaks, the web-site for whistleblowers has broken one of the world's biggest corruption stories in the international press (Guardian, BBC, Forbes, Sydney Morning Herald and others) by leaking a secret report by noted Enron auditor Kroll Associates and possibly altered the outcome of a impending national election.

The suppressed auditor's report reveals that currency worth billions of U.S dollars was looted from Kenya by President Moi and his associates. The money was laundered across the world and includes properties and shell companies in London, Newyork and South Africa and even a 10,000 hectare ranch in Australia.

The countries involved in facilitating the transfer of the stolen government money nclude Australia, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Dubai, Finland, Germany, Grand, Cayman, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Liechtenstein, Liberia, Luxembourg, Malawi, Namibia, the Netherlands, Puerto, Rico, Russia, Somalia, South, Africa, Sudan, Switzerland, Uganda, the United Kingdom, the United States and Zaire.

The sums are comparable in magnitude to the looting of infamous kleptocrats such as Mobutu (Zaire), Marcos (Philippines), Abacha (Nigeria), Suharto (Indonesia) and Fujimori (Peru). The leaked material is extremely politically sensitive. Ex-President Moi has become a key player in political life in Kenya, and is now an essential pillar in President Kibaki's campaign for re-election in December 2007."
