Mr Wilfred Saroni, the fallen businessman in the US.
Many people have written to us for or against the fallen Kenyan businessman in the US. We have analysed their comments and found out that many people are happy that the man has fallen. Some have accused him of incompetence and others of fooling around with women. Accusations goes on and on.
Kenya governmen t is interested in seeing Kenyans prosper, at least that is what they say. It is now time to show that they care when they see a Kenyan hardworking man trapped in a mess. The only way they can do so is to give him a bailing loan and he binds himself to pay back when his business gets back to normal,
In the comments we have received, some Kenyans who know him express happiness that he is now in trouble. That is a Kenyan thing, many say, happy for the failure of his fellow Kenyan. Citizens of other countries are known to give one another help and rescue their fellow countrymen when they are in trouble. Kenyans are not that way. Some may pretend to love one another but it is possible they will dance on their graves as soon as they die one way or another. Imagine people who used to go to the businessman’s home to drink, eat, and party in different ways now saying the man was not good. What a world we live in!

Suggesting that the Kenyan government bail out this one failed Kenyan businessman is absurd. Why him? Why not start with the many people who already have problems–as simple as getting enough food to eat, forget about failed businessmen–back in Kenya? And where would such bailouts end? Can I get one, since my online business failed?
That said, it is in extremely bad taste for some people to be enjoying the fact that he has problems. It seems to be the nature of Kenyans (and many other Africans abroad) to be happy when one of their own, whom they have long secretly envied, stumbles. And I’ll bet you my last dollar that some of those same people were not-too long ago, enjoying his home, drinks, and food.
