Kenya ina wenyewe…the only guys we prosecute are petty thieves. You may soon see Majiwa on the ballot paper and 10years from now our media will run a “rags to riches” story on him.I won’t mention that @Female Perspective will showcase exorcism like reflexes just so guy cannot miss the egg chilling on the tube.

“We paid the cash on grounds that on completion of the training in SA we could ask for our claims after investors put in their money,” she said.

According to her, in October while in South Africa, Majiwa told them that Prince Rahim of Saudi Arabia had visited Kenya and promised to heavily invest in the airline and so he requested them to deposit some money on his account to activate it.

Majiwa told them that since the company had not officially opened an account, his account needed to be activated with a good amount to ease bank transactions[/B].

From every corner. Hata ukienda restaurant/bar in high end establishments. Kila mtu is out to take advantage of the other. Inflated bills, etc. But there are still some decent Kenyans out there. Few and far between. Na Wakenya wameleta hii ujanja/upuss majuu. Sad.

@john_doe

If you are stupid enough to pay 2.7 m to get a job then you deserve to be conned and in addition uchapwe ngumi kadhaa za kichwa

It’s the target market. A friend of mine tells me it costs 96k per flight hour on those small planes.

If this is true, I can easily see how this adds up to 2.7m because probably waliambiwa wanapelekwa on a program like the KQ South Africa program in which one is most likely guaranteed a job of over 500k if you play your cards right.

Kumbuka hizi flight schools are not for peasants.

Baracuda Airways CEO John Majiwa is set to be arraigned in court on Monday after he was arrested for conning clients of over Sh200 million.

Majiwa was nabbed by flying squad officers on Saturday in the Nairobi CBD while heading to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Police believe Majiwa wanted to flee the country after being exposed for the alleged fraud.

According to flying squad officers, Majiwa had escaped their dragnet since Wednesday when the matter was first reported to them.

They said they detected his movements and trailed him for two days before he was arrested.

He was arrested along side four women and a man believed to be his accomplices.

The six were taken to Kilimani flying squad headquarters where they were interrogated before being taken to cells awaiting mention of their case tomorrow.

Among those who are arrested include a serving officer in the presidential escort, Stella Amaya, the company’s Finance director and Elizabeth Wanjiru director of BOD.

Majiwa who runs the airways is accused of fraudulently acquiring millions from over 40 investors.

Police say preliminary investigations have determined that Majiwa was using Deputy President Willam Ruto’s name and Mama Ngina Kenyatta to con the investors.

One of the investors who spoke to the Star on condition of anonymity said she was introduced to Majiwa and Baracuda airways by her uncle.

“In September last year I was called for co-pilot interviews and was among six people who passed the interview,” she said.

According to her Majiwa asked them to pay Sh2.7 million each for them to attend a special training in South Africa.

"He told us DP Ruto and Mama Ngina had shares in the company. Being that my uncle introduced me to the company I had no doubt that it was a legit company, she said.

She said Majiwa was among those who conducted interviews at Weston hotel.

“We paid the cash on grounds that on completion of the training in SA we could ask for our claims after investors put in their money,” she said.

According to her, in October while in South Africa, Majiwa told them that Prince Rahim of Saudi Arabia had visited Kenya and promised to heavily invest in the airline and so he requested them to deposit some money on his account to activate it.

Majiwa told them that since the company had not officially opened an account, his account needed to be activated with a good amount to ease bank transactions.

“It is from here that we started sensing something wrong. All in all we did not deposit the money,” she said.

On completion of the training, they came back to Kenya and were promised to commence operations in December.

She added that after arriving from the training, Majiwa went missing and his phone switched off.

A sustained probe by herself and five other trainees revealed that Majiwa had recruited about 6 pilots and 30 cabin crew majority of whom had been sacked at Kenya Airways.

Majiwa promised the six prominent jobs within the company’s management to silence them after the fraud allegations were made public.

He started now using them to lure new recruits on board who were also paying huge sums of money on grounds that they would be sent to Dubai and Canada for training.

“I launched my own investigations and realized that the Baracuda Airways was a scam, it was previously branded as Baracuda holdings before the name was changed,” the trainee said.

“Further investigations pointed that Prince Rahim rejected the offer to invest in the company after he realized that the company had not acquired even a single plane,” she added.

She says that she and the other five trainees were issued with termination letters allegedly because word got back to Majiwa of their investigations into the company

The company reportedly has an air service license from Kenya Civil Aviation Authority which.

It is said Majiwa has powerful connections from prominent people in the government.

His connection led to him defrauding Weston Hotel owned by DP Ruto over 56 million after conducting a two weeks training for some of the cabin crew members.

By Saturday evening though Weston Hotel had not made an official statement.

Another hotel by the name Dove in Naivasha has also fallen a victim. Majiwa reportedly conducted several retreats at the place for his staff and issued them bouncing cheques.

Over 15 people had recorded their statement and issued critical evidence against Majiwa.
