I'm afraid a personal financial advisor doesn't help either. I had such an advisor with Commercial Bank of Africa (CBA) and I still got defrauded, and this was with offshore investments. The investment advisor was in fact the head of their offshore investments unit. CBA never refunded a single cent, never admitted liability (even though the head of the offshore unit was fired and the offshore unit dissolved). Moral of the story: it doesn't matter who you invest with in Kenya, you're totally screwed. It doesn't matter how "reputable" the bank is (like CBA pretends to be), you are still toast because the regulators are in bed with these crooks. I considered suing CBA but given our (in)justice system and how easy it is to bribe your way to winning a case, it just wasn't worth the time and effort. saidi On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 10:50 AM, Steve Muchai <smuchai@gmail.com> wrote:
See a personal financial advisor and have them go through the document for you before you sign up.
