Tues 9th August 2022, Election Day
A kisii first skill is to learn how to cheat, lie and defraud. Having lived among abagusii I can say the rural guys are habitual liars. Kcpe, ksce and just ended elections can point you to the nature of fraud these guys are capable of ..if kisiis were majority Kenya would eclipse Nigeria in corruption and fraud In USA not a year goes by without a kisii going to federal jail for fraud. Even the ones you think know better.
Absolutely agree. I use to think kikuyus were really the fraudsters but I have come to appreciate the depth of those skills amongst abagusii. Turn out kikuyus low class are just mostly low level thugs but not really the fraudsters. In kenya banks fear lending to Gusii - many have been taken to cleaners - they discovered forged everything - from ID, death certificate, birth certificate, shared ID with 10 people, name it. In the tea estates in Kericho - if you talk to management - they can tell you litany of lies/fraud/cheating from almost exclusively gusii workers.I don't know the genesis of this - but it certainly deep rooted. As early as 50s - one gusii - would do exams for entire family - leave alone cheating you see in KCPE/KCSE where they've led since exam started. The green-card fraud where family members marry each other, divorce and come back to marry yet another family member has now forced US to conduct DNA tests.They are probably second to the Igbos of Nigeria in the fraud business.Quote from: Globalcitizen12 on September 18, 2017, 12:49:57 PMA kisii first skill is to learn how to cheat, lie and defraud.

There's a hypothesis I came across.Kisii is densely populated probably higher than the highest in Central Kenya. Unlike Central where the NBO outlet is dirt cheap stone throw away, Kisii is 'landlocked' with nowhere to run. Solution is to 'innovate' to survive. Breeds a culture of crime which is passed on.Heard it from a KCB branch operations or some other bank-esque title. He swore loans non performing ratio is highest in Kisii as a result.
Mike Tyson used to say that a boxer has a plan until he is hit. Pundit used to claim that he is objective and realistic until the "dog beating" Team NASA gave Jubilee at the SCOK. Now all of a sudden Kisii's are all born thieves. How do you then explain WSR and his Kalenjin cabal who has stolen from this country since Moi more 100 times more than all Kisii's combined have ever stolen. Could all this vitriol against Kisii's be linked to the dog beating Jubilee suffered at the SCOK LATELY.
I think Vihiga's maragolis also have some highest pop density. This is probably a culture of cheating that has taken roots. It began quite early and perhaps like Kalenjin althetic prowress - the success of the first fraudster has breaded a culture of fraud.Quote from: vooke on September 18, 2017, 01:24:33 PMThere's a hypothesis I came across.Kisii is densely populated probably higher than the highest in Central Kenya.

You guys are pathetic. Carry on!
So we can lump criminals into ethnicities... this is bigotry. Stereotyping at best.

They are not the only ones to be fair but they lead. We're talking of average vice not grand looting. Quite intelligent picking tenderpreneurs as there are largely driven by ruling tribe. It was Okoyu under Kenyatta Kale under Moi, Okoyu under Kibaki,Kibadinga and Kale+Okoyu under Uhuruto

I am sure I have known far more Kisiis than you and I have not seen any evidence that Kisiis are worse than any other group in theft or fraud. Feel free to criticize things that need criticizing: FGM is an excellent example. But these things you lot are inventing is pure unalderated bigotry. If you have the evidence, you are free to present it. Interesting that as usual you are right on time to defend the right to be biggoted, no need to break the pattern here I guess.
