A recent observation highlights the tendency of Kenya's wealthy elite to utilize foreign countries for various aspects of their lives, while opting to be buried in Kenya.
The following points illustrate this trend:
- When Kenyan politicians loot public funds, they often store the money in Switzerland.
- When they fall ill, they seek medical attention in London or India.
- For investment purposes, they prefer America.
- They purchase mansions in London.
- Shopping trips often take them to Dubai.
- Vacations are typically spent in Paris or the Bahamas.
- Education for their children is pursued in Europe.
- For religious pilgrimages, they travel to Saudi Arabia or Jerusalem.
- However, when they pass away, they prefer to be buried in Kenya.
This raises the question: Is Kenya merely a cemetery for the rich?
