International banks dont operate like that
KQ was super profitable before this.
It was one most profitable airline in the world.
It's annual revenues exceeded 100B...I think it was approaching 150B.
That is before 2012 Oil futures mess.
Therefore when KQ wanted to buy planes...Boeing flies direct to Nairobi with Citibank/JP Morgan and with US gov EximBank in tow.
Buying 10 dreamliners is not a joke.
Such transactions the US gov is aware of.
And this not the first such transaction - KQ had previously bought planes using the same model.
BUT
Did Jp Morgan/Citi Bank own the 70BN?
Was the 70BN owned by the kenyattas and they authorized the said international banks to lend it on their behalf?
Jp Morgan/Citibank/HSBC are mere fund managers of corrupt African leaders.They cannot commit their money to a cash cow like KQ.Its only an African president who can invest in such a cash cow or elephant project while hiding in the guise of international finance.
