We post this article knowing well that bribed editors like Tom Mshindi and mediocre mainstream media brown-envelope journalists in Nairobi are paid to sit in the office and just focus on petty sideshow and political rallies. They are Kenya's enemy No. 1. Our so-called Mickey Mouse activists like Boniface Mwangi are busy hosting events while Statehouse mole Ory Okolloh has just been screenshotting articles to divert public's attention from such serious scams. On December 11th 2015, the House Committee on Energy, Communication and Information approved the vetting of three presidential appointees, including Petroleum PS Andrew Kamau Nganga, a former Uhuru schoolmate at the now disgraced St. Mary's school of corruption, where thieves like Bruce Odhiambo horned their thieving skills. 3.3.1 Personal Background Mr. Andrew Ng’ang’a Kamau has been working in the energy and mining sector in Africa for 25 years. In this time he has worked for among others, multinational companies in East Africa and major trading organizations in Europe. Andrew was awarded the Africa Oil & Gas Deal Maker of the Year 2005 by Global Pacific Partners. He is also the chairman of Komati Foundation, a non-profit organization, working specifically with students and young professionals to nurture leadership skills and service ethics. 3.3.4 Work experience Mr. Kamau has worked in the following capacities; Director, Bracewell Energy, Johannesburg, Director, Drillex Limited, COO, Mag Energy Inc. Johannesburg, Director Marketing, Aurora Energy Monaco, Johannesburg and Trader, Marc Rich Investments London, Johannesburg. 3.3.5 Potential Conflict of interest The nominee has no conflict of interest.

But is that so?

The bribed media corps in Kenya were paid handsomely to overlook the fact that there are glaring conflicts of interests in Mr. Kamau's resumè as noted here below;

New Petroleum PS, Andrew Kamau Nganga worked for major global oil traders - but National Assembly vetting committee saw "no conflict of interest" - yet he's worked for two companies associated with or owned by the late Mr. Marc Rich - the founder of Glencore.

Marc Rich - famous for being the beneficiary of a last minute Presidential pardon from Bill Clinton, but more famous in high finance and commodities trading circles as the founder of oil trading giant Glencore (which was also a key player in the Triton scandal when it was ripped off about 3.6 billion by Devani with the help of Kenya Pipeline Company).

British firm Glencore Energy is seeking to take its fight for $40.3 million (Sh3.6 billion) compensation from the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) for oil it lost in the 2008 Triton scandal to the Supreme Court, which has of late come under public scrutiny for corruption after Justice Philip Tunoi was bribed with $2million by Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero. The Supreme Court crooks have also been adversely mentioned in Nairobi Law Monthly's exposè on the Safaricom bogus CCTV's supply.

The London-based firm says in its application that the Court of Appeal applied evidence selectively and denied it a chance to plead its case when it ruled that Glencore’s arrangement with KPC and Triton for the sale of its oil in Kenya was illegal.

The judges consequently threw out Glencore’s claim.

Glencore holds that the matter is one of public interest, as it questions the Court of Appeal’s conduct in determining cases, and will require interpretation of laws on the right to a fair hearing as per the Constitution.

Glencore claims KPC was liable for responsibility when it lost 31.7 tonnes of oil valued at Sh3.6 billion following KPC’s release of the fuel to marketers without informing financiers such as itself. The scandal saw Triton owner Yagnesh Devani flee the country.

There is no doubt that an out of court settlement may be in the offing in light of the former employment history of the new Principal Secretary for Petroleum. He wants to use his position to influence a Kshs. 3.6 Billion to his former employer, with a promise of a 10% commission.

ABC Radio reported in 2005 that Glencore "has been accused of illegal dealings with rogue states: apartheid South Africa, USSR, Iran, and Iraq under Saddam Hussein", and has a "history of busting UN embargoes to profit from corrupt or despotic regimes". Specifically, Glencore was reported to have been named by the CIA to have paid $3,222,780 in illegal kickbacks to obtain oil in the course of the UN oil-for-food programme for Iraq. The company denied these charges, according to the CIA report quoted by ABC.

The inextricable link between Andrew Kamau Nganga and Glencore as his former employer means that a glaring conflict of interest that was conveniently overlooked by parliament, will cost the taxpayer Kshs. 3.6 Billion. Kamau is currently in Uganda, negotiating the oil pipeline deal where he oversaw the inflated quote making Kenya lose the busines to Tanzania.
