Corruption: Kenya Anglo Leasing Scandal

The report, which the SFO prepared after conducting investigations into the Anglo Leasing scheme since July 2007, is said to unlock the gridlock that has blocked local efforts to identify the real players in the deal that has cost the Kenyan taxpayer billions of shillings. However, the SFO is blocked from handing over the report to Kenyas Attorney General because British laws dictate that the document can only be handed over to an ongoing investigation. Currently, a ruling by the High Court in Nairobi blocks the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) from receiving any reports on Anglo Leasing, thereby stopping all investigations into the scandal. The SFO has interpreted this to mean that Kenya had put a stop to investigations into the scandal.
