Kenya will never thrive economically until the day the average citizen is aware that integrity is the fuel for prosperity! Hii effort ingine yote ni useless.
2 Million is more than enough capital to start a very successful business or partnership. Why do we Africans love slaving away in western countries instead of building ourselves here at home? We must change our mindsets.
True. You hear what people are paying to agencies for relocation and to get menial job opportunities and the math doesn't add up, because no genuinely poor person has two million at hand to spend like that.
It is a clearing and forwarding business, and after a two-minute interview, they hand you the pink paper with no explanation as to why they've denied the visa. Seriously why deny someone a transit visa or crew? while everything is so clear, they can even contact the Us company to verify? Is that not corruption? They should refund the visa cost. The next demonstration after the finance bill should be the US embassy exploiting Kenyans.
This should be a wake up call to we Kenyans. Tuachane na hii mambo ya kuenda majuu, tubaki nchiini na tuijenge, then we won't need to escape our circumstances here. Even those who go for 'legitimate' reasons such as higher education, should return back home to build the country.

Kenyans wouldn't have to resort to seeking shortcuts if the consular officials were fair and evaluated all genuine cases. Securing an appointment is an ordeal; when you contact them, you receive an automated response, even as the travel date approaches. And once you do secure an appointment, they deny you a visa. The Kenyan US embassy needs to critically assess their work ethics and take decisive action to resolve these issues.
But I have to ask, how does the so called "government officials" being granted visas contribute to common mwananchi being denied visas, eg to visit children's graduation? If anything, that illogical denial and dismissal is what's contributing to this kind of corruption if you ask me

Great work,Atleast they’re people listening to voices of Kenyans been denied opportunities due to corruption at the US embassy!Now do how they fail to give student visas especially
What makes me wonder is how difficult it is for any African to get this visa thing , not just us but any western country, and aswel the fees the embassies take is insane, while on the other hand westerners just book via online their visas and in days 3 days max wako na visas and payment is like 8 to 10k, wa Africa tulibebwanga ujinga sana na tutaendelea kubebwa ujinga, something should be done about this idea of having to pay soo much visa money alafu watu bado wananyimwa, and something should be done too about this vikwazo miiiiingi when applying visas.
Because many Africans, including Kenyans, overstay their Visas when they are granted. Some get abroad and pretend to by asylum seekers. That is what makes it harder for honest Kenyans/Africans to get genuine Visas because the rotten apples have spoiled it for everyone else.
@@lillianebwire4897 lol you got point too, everyone's opinions matters.

My mum was denied visa after winning green card back in 2012. Even involved Mohamed Ali the investigative journalist then but it bore no fruits. It started a long time ago. I’m happy someone is shedding light on it.
It is shoking to see Africans pay dearly to go to a land they were once forcefully bundled in chains and shipped to. We should focus on making Kenya and Africa habbitable through accountability among our leaders. Unfortunately, Kenyan leaders are not in any way committed to making things better.
Ministry of foreign affairs, Talanta hela, us embassy in Nairobi should be closed down immediately, Ababu namwamba to be arrested and all people involved...it's sad to see the police are corrupt and rotten to the core!!
Important stories such as this one ought to be thoroughly edited. Barely 6 minutes in: 1:10 "...Embassy & it's staff...". 2:17, 2:48 "...in the New York" 5:17: "...to the New York..." Who writes these scripts? How did these errors escape editorial reviews?
Money was paid to the "network team" at US embassy who would in turn facilitate the issuance of the visa since they already knew the said individuals wasn't government officers
Don’t be fooled by the Kenyan government. They just changed the name from ‘visa’ to ‘eTA’. They actually ask for more information on the eTA application than they used to ask for a visa. You must also book a flight before applying for the eTA. With the previous system, you could get visa on arrival at the airport (from many countries). Under the eTA system, Kenya is actually making more money. This is because ALL non-immigrant travelers (except maybe from the East Africa countries) must apply for the eTA, which costs around $30.

This is not a "fraud" or an "investigation". These activities happen at all Embassies in Kenya. It is the standard operating procedure. Embassy officials may or may not know the preparation or monies changing hands.
USA embassy nairobi is revenue collection point, my F1 visa was denied without any legal reason... Two questions cannot make one fail an F 1 VISA SHAME ON THEM
I hear your frustrations. But learn to know how the visa issuance at that embassy works. They have X amount of F-1 visas to give each day. So if their target is 5, it doesn’t matter how qualified you’re. They will deny you for that day. Unfortunately, the number of visa interviews for certain visas like F-1 per day are way over the number of allocated visas. This is the reason why many fail to get their visas though everything checks out and looks clean about them. And yet the embassy would not tell you why they deliberately rejected you. They will come up with a made up excuse which you have no absolute permission to question.
@@edwinmandelawhy not just take 5 appointments rather than exploit our fellow citizens for their hard earned money. Many have sacrificed their all to see if they can secure the travel to no avail.

I hate how we have to be separated from our families, our marriages breaking, our loved ones passing on with us unable to even be there.Imagine waiting for years for a visa interview and some people are just getting it with so much ease through corruption 😢.So Sad and heartbreaking.
The point is, do the right thing, present right documents and be competent enough and know what you want to achieve by going to USA. I did that and am in USA after my first attempt. It is God maze ❤. USA consulate are very smart people they have studied psychology and can formulate a story based on your answers. They are awesome and you cant deceive them.
LOL! This is not anything new. Through my own research, I have uncovered many travel agencies in Nairobi that help citizens get American, Canadian, and UK visas to such events, schools and other things. Such services costs anyhwere from $10,000 upwards. The money is exchanged on moving cars on Mombasa road between these organizations and the embassy insiders. It is said, bag full of cash is thrown from travel agents vehicle into the back seat of embassy vehicles while the cars are moving. These money are usually exchanges after 10 to 50 visas have been processes, so you can imagine the amount of money being exchanged. I have heard of accounts on people who got into such countries and threw away their Kenyan passport and claim asylum under political prosecution, sometimes claim to have come from places like Burundi, The Gongo, Somalia and Rwanda fleeing prosecution, when fleeing prosecution from Kenya just doesn't make sense. Anyways, God bless Kenya, compared to many of the neighboring countries, there are a lot to be proud of despite all its corruptions. Thanks for this documentary, at least now many people are aware of this.
@emmajuma896 you're right, embassies do take fingerprints, from what I uncovered through my research, the way this scum usually works is, you get a visa, let say to the UK, once granted entry and you're in UK, then you'll cross border to Ireland, there you seek asylum, although its under the same kindom, seems there is a lack of information sharing going on. It seems to be a similar situation within in the EU, let say Kenyan citizen gets Visa to Germany, they cross to France and seek asylum there, similarly, for the US and Canada, United States visa holders cross to Canada, while those with Canadian visa are allowed to describe their situation and eventually granted asylum, while other takes the risk to crossing down south to U.S.. I am still researching this. The sad part is, people spend over 2 million KES for this, a money they could have potentially start a successful business here in Kenya. I personally know people who used to hawk in 2015, but are very wealthy today, having started successful business from what they were able to save from hustle and are making a difference in the country... There are those who are never content with what God has blessed them with while in Africa, although they're doing much better than half of the population.
Seriously, why expose them? The only crime here is escaping from a country riddled with corruption, poverty and high unemployment rate. Can't blame them.
that is how the rest of the hustlers will pay the price for these corrupt government officials,the normal wanjiku will be treated with suspicion by foreign embassies
You complain about corruption but also support fraud. They should be exposed juu they mess it up for everyone else who is to travel genuinely. When the embassy eventually catches wind of the scam now such visas will be hard to get.
They should be exposed kabisa. They ruin for everyone else who is genuine. Our visa denial rate is much higher than other African countries and it's because of such nonsense.
Am a little bit skeptical about this, why would these guys talk freely like a broken record player to people they barely know without regard to repercussions ?

I couldn't get either the head or tail of this story....
😂😂😂😂😂😂
me neither
😅😅😅😅😅
You are not alone mimi even the body...
Me too. I got lost at the salon then at the police station😅
😢... No wonder I was given denial for visa more than times without number.. without justification of why I was denied visa..? 😢
Great work,Atleast they’re people listening to voices of Kenyans been denied opportunities due to corruption at the US embassy!Now do how they fail to give student visas especially
What makes me wonder is how difficult it is for any African to get this visa thing , not just us but any western country, and aswel the fees the embassies take is insane, while on the other hand westerners just book via online their visas and in days 3 days max wako na visas and payment is like 8 to 10k, wa Africa tulibebwanga ujinga sana na tutaendelea kubebwa ujinga, something should be done about this idea of having to pay soo much visa money alafu watu bado wananyimwa, and something should be done too about this vikwazo miiiiingi when applying visas.
Problem with us Africans is we get visas to abroad but most of them can not support them selves financially and that's a big problem and shame.
@@festuskasa3782 yes its understandable but still 🤔
Every country must protect itself.Nyinyi Africa behave, govern well and we shall prosper. Mnalilia what others have protected for years.
Because many Africans, including Kenyans, overstay their Visas when they are granted. Some get abroad and pretend to by asylum seekers. That is what makes it harder for honest Kenyans/Africans to get genuine Visas because the rotten apples have spoiled it for everyone else.
@@lillianebwire4897 lol you got point too, everyone's opinions matters.
Well however infact nowadays abroad imekua ngumu ku survive ata sasa heri hizi African countries zetu, kwanza things like renting 🥵 its too high aka small thing going for 100k plus iz crazy indeed and other high costs, wa Africa tupende tu kwetu na tushukuru ati kenya unaeza survive na salo ya kedo 20k even less unlike where we are thinking its all rosey while is really not, abroadians are struggling a big big deal
French Embassy is next. I have a dossier
😂😂😂
its not the embassy but you the sorrounding nyeuthis
My mum was denied visa after winning green card back in 2012. Even involved Mohamed Ali the investigative journalist then but it bore no fruits. It started a long time ago. I’m happy someone is shedding light on it.
Am also a victim of this back in 2004
The corruption here about Kenyan officials
It is shoking to see Africans pay dearly to go to a land they were once forcefully bundled in chains and shipped to. We should focus on making Kenya and Africa habbitable through accountability among our leaders. Unfortunately, Kenyan leaders are not in any way committed to making things better.
Ministry of foreign affairs, Talanta hela, us embassy in Nairobi should be closed down immediately, Ababu namwamba to be arrested and all people involved...it's sad to see the police are corrupt and rotten to the core!!
Important stories such as this one ought to be thoroughly edited. Barely 6 minutes in:
1:10 "...Embassy & it's staff...".
2:17, 2:48 "...in the New York"
5:17: "...to the New York..."
Who writes these scripts? How did these errors escape editorial reviews?
I always wonder why is it so hard to get the VISA to USA!
While to other countries is easy!
Madness! Alafu no actions will be taken within the ministries/bodies in question in spite of all this evidence.
Why
Well Done KTN!!
Wow, Kenya TV making an investigative journalism
I'm getting lost in this maze. So, was that money paid to the US embassy? Rather did the US embassy RECEIVE any fraudulent payments?
Money was paid to the "network team" at US embassy who would in turn facilitate the issuance of the visa since they already knew the said individuals wasn't government officers
Haha 🤣 I felt the same way. They should watch some of those Netflix investigative series to get a better idea about how to present.
This is very sad, no wonder corruption is still a thing and won't end any time soon
So we waste our time every year to apply
mkiwa despaa inabidi
I'm disappointed you still didn't expose the real scam 😢
Same thing for Canadian visas. Corrupt Canadian and local embassy employees issues visas in exchange for money or other services. It's pathetic.
No way if corruption is so rooted,who do we run to???
Na Kenya is visa free. Ata wa Mafia wakuje bila wasiwasi wakaishi kwa hii nchi yetu
Don’t be fooled by the Kenyan government. They just changed the name from ‘visa’ to ‘eTA’. They actually ask for more information on the eTA application than they used to ask for a visa. You must also book a flight before applying for the eTA. With the previous system, you could get visa on arrival at the airport (from many countries). Under the eTA system, Kenya is actually making more money. This is because ALL non-immigrant travelers (except maybe from the East Africa countries) must apply for the eTA, which costs around $30.
@@Jamaawa254 it’s actually more than 30 we paid 150dollars and it expires in 90days, I was shocked😑😑😑 hakuna kitu kama visa free

Dear KTN,
Why do you disguise the Whistle-blower's voice such that it's difficult to hear what's been said?
It would be good to even have an actor to do a voice over. Some of us will even do it for free!!
You’ve spoken my mind. It’s okay to disguise but then they should write the words
Not even subtitles, kept me wondering
Click cc to have words appearing on the screeen
Click cc ,you will be able to read what he is saying
@@mercymuroki8403 You are missing the point. The voice is annoying and KTN could do better. Using cc at the point of the voice over doesn't make sense.
For the life of me , why would anyone ever think of travelling to america??? Yaani utoke Kenya for the US ?? Please investigate these countries before boarding the plane , some countries on paper appear great but kwa ground wacha tu
They think the streets are paved with gold and money grow on trees!! Let's make our country great so that Americans should also apply for a visa to visit here!! It's doable!!!
The drugs, gayism and mafia infiltration, high rent.... makes it so horrible
Do we have working healthcare? Are our schools working? Tuanzie hapo. Convince me why i shouldn't leave Kenya?
Tell them the truth
@@wesearch_ke2365 so you believe that america has a functioning healthcare system ??The cost there are astronomical , a mere fracture is so expensive, Americans travel to Mexico for cheaper healthcare costs.
Lastly try travelling to 4-5 countries , you'll learn that we as Kenyans with the exception of few issues have it easy , all we need is accountability in leadership , kama unaenda Denmark ,norway or Finland youll be fine otherwise hizo zingine they aint worth the squeeze , the US is more f***d than us .
Money for bribery so high. Si mtu aanze biashara surely
Blows my mind!
Wanasema hio pesa ukitoa inarudi within few months. But the amount is too high bana
True story, they get that money back within months@@susannganga1481
Yeah. Could be recovered in less than six months, if one gets a reliable job
Pesa yetu inaibiwa kwa ministry of health but we uko busy kufungiwa wa kenya very poor vile watatoroka hii kenya ya shida.
This is not a "fraud" or an "investigation". These activities happen at all Embassies in Kenya. It is the standard operating procedure. Embassy officials may or may not know the preparation or monies changing hands.
USA embassy nairobi is revenue collection point, my F1 visa was denied without any legal reason... Two questions cannot make one fail an F 1 VISA
SHAME ON THEM
I hear your frustrations. But learn to know how the visa issuance at that embassy works. They have X amount of F-1 visas to give each day. So if their target is 5, it doesn’t matter how qualified you’re. They will deny you for that day. Unfortunately, the number of visa interviews for certain visas like F-1 per day are way over the number of allocated visas. This is the reason why many fail to get their visas though everything checks out and looks clean about them. And yet the embassy would not tell you why they deliberately rejected you. They will come up with a made up excuse which you have no absolute permission to question.
@@edwinmandelathat’s the point, they are giving people false hopes and cheating them out of their hard earned money. money.
@@edwinmandelawhy not just take 5 appointments rather than exploit our fellow citizens for their hard earned money. Many have sacrificed their all to see if they can secure the travel to no avail. And the repercussions are great once they fail as depression and many conditions crop up. Which is not cheap to treat.
When do we see heads rolling? Non
The same is happening in the EU embassies.
Thank you for good job
Why do people stress themselves this much kuenda US
Up until I don't understand what they are exposing 😅😅😅😅
we need part two...
OMG! THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN US EMBASSY
Kila mtu akae kwao 😂 kenya tumekua accomodating nowanda corruption will never end
Sensitive content
These are the kind of wash wash deals that normally happen around govt corridors...initially it was a legit process that followed all the protocols and requirements only for different individuals to present themselves 😂😂😂wueh kenya is a crime scene...
Now this lady is exposed even her she cant Travel the rules will apply to her.
@@MLM2447was thinking the same. Now will the police come for her too now that her documents are there and only the once present at the embassy ndio hivyo?
She gave all the tea.😂😂😂
I hate how we have to be separated from our families, our marriages breaking, our loved ones passing on with us unable to even be there.Imagine waiting for years for a visa interview and some people are just getting it with so much ease through corruption 😢.So Sad and heartbreaking.
For non Kenyans 2 millions is approximately $16000
Eeeeeeeeeeh Is this true?
Where's the ending?
I wish ruto would know the country he's killing. KENYA IS HEAVEN. Ruto must Gooooo
The point is, do the right thing, present right documents and be competent enough and know what you want to achieve by going to USA. I did that and am in USA after my first attempt. It is God maze ❤. USA consulate are very smart people they have studied psychology and can formulate a story based on your answers. They are awesome and you cant deceive them.
LOL! This is not anything new. Through my own research, I have uncovered many travel agencies in Nairobi that help citizens get American, Canadian, and UK visas to such events, schools and other things. Such services costs anyhwere from $10,000 upwards. The money is exchanged on moving cars on Mombasa road between these organizations and the embassy insiders. It is said, bag full of cash is thrown from travel agents vehicle into the back seat of embassy vehicles while the cars are moving. These money are usually exchanges after 10 to 50 visas have been processes, so you can imagine the amount of money being exchanged. I have heard of accounts on people who got into such countries and threw away their Kenyan passport and claim asylum under political prosecution, sometimes claim to have come from places like Burundi, The Gongo, Somalia and Rwanda fleeing prosecution, when fleeing prosecution from Kenya just doesn't make sense. Anyways, God bless Kenya, compared to many of the neighboring countries, there are a lot to be proud of despite all its corruptions. Thanks for this documentary, at least now many people are aware of this.
Kwani finger prints won't reveal identity when someone seeks asylum. Embassies huchukua fingerprints mtu akiapply visa
@emmajuma896 you're right, embassies do take fingerprints, from what I uncovered through my research, the way this scum usually works is, you get a visa, let say to the UK, once granted entry and you're in UK, then you'll cross border to Ireland, there you seek asylum, although its under the same kindom, seems there is a lack of information sharing going on. It seems to be a similar situation within in the EU, let say Kenyan citizen gets Visa to Germany, they cross to France and seek asylum there, similarly, for the US and Canada, United States visa holders cross to Canada, while those with Canadian visa are allowed to describe their situation and eventually granted asylum, while other takes the risk to crossing down south to U.S.. I am still researching this. The sad part is, people spend over 2 million KES for this, a money they could have potentially start a successful business here in Kenya. I personally know people who used to hawk in 2015, but are very wealthy today, having started successful business from what they were able to save from hustle and are making a difference in the country... There are those who are never content with what God has blessed them with while in Africa, although they're doing much better than half of the population.
Seriously, why expose them? The only crime here is escaping from a country riddled with corruption, poverty and high unemployment rate. Can't blame them.
that is how the rest of the hustlers will pay the price for these corrupt government officials,the normal wanjiku will be treated with suspicion by foreign embassies
You complain about corruption but also support fraud. They should be exposed juu they mess it up for everyone else who is to travel genuinely. When the embassy eventually catches wind of the scam now such visas will be hard to get.
Really what of the parents who sell lands
I wonder,, now it will make us even get more restrictions on getting visa even through the normal way
They should be exposed kabisa. They ruin for everyone else who is genuine. Our visa denial rate is much higher than other African countries and it's because of such nonsense.
Am a little bit skeptical about this, why would these guys talk freely like a broken record player to people they barely know without regard to repercussions ?
The France embassy is also doing the same. They take your money yet they know they'll reject you visa. These embassies need to be exposed for sure
