When the police broke the crime ring operating in our area of Nairobi, they found that the gun being used was owned by our local police officer. He was renting it out each evening. Apparently the going rate was £5 a night, plus £1 for each bullet used.
One of my staff was offered an AK47 for £10 (this was the late 90s). He turned it down because it had a rope strap. He wanted one with leather.
I was taken to court after overtaking on a double yellow line (uk equivalent = double white line) and refusing to pay the bribe. I can't remember what the fine was, but do remember that if I didn't pay I was in line for 30 days in jail!
