$4 million "dissapeared" in Kenya, it was on Al Jazeera today

Kenya officials already made it clear that they jealouse of Somali people getting all the attention and they want their people to get some of the money and food even though there is no civil-war in their country and they have a functioning government.

I won't trust a single penny on these Kenyans.

How much of those millions will the victims in the South actually see and benefit from?

Almost none.
