Another Expose That Might Have Slipped Your Mind (Video)

On the eve of Christmas, KTN aired a shocking expose about a ring of international dealers taking part in blood gold trade that originates from Democratic Republic of Congo. A couple of years ago a senior of KRA official was shot and killed in mystery murder that brought to limelight a consignment of gold that even forced the DRC president, Joseph Kabila, to make a surprise visit to Kenya.

It emerged that the illegal trade has been going on secretly for years with several top players apparently under the protection of influential politicians and rogue officers in the Kenya Police. UN investigators even alleged that the trade has brought about successful con game in which scam artists rob foreigners trying to buy “blood gold” from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Their activities have come to light most recently thanks to the actions of a whistle-blower and dozens of victims and the DRC President demanded action after a gold consignment valued at Sh8 billion was smuggled through Kenya’s main airport.
