KENYA: Biwott is back again

Three anti-corruption campaigners have left the scene as Total Man returns – The drive against corruption has run out of steam. President Mwai Kibaki’s National Rainbow Coalition was elected in January 2003 on a straightforward anti-corruption platform. Today, independent analysts estimate corruption has reached the levels of the preceding government under Daniel arap Moi. Now Kibaki is regularly seen alongside the central figure in the government he defeated, Nicholas Kipyator Biwott. Investigation of the multimillion dollar Goldenberg export subsidy scandal, in which witnesses accused Biwott of playing a leading role, has been shelved indefinitely.

BANKS

Banking bust-up
Egypt wants its own man to run an all-Africa bank but everyone else is angry. Leadership in Africa is an old Egyptian dream. It looks a lot less solid since President Hosni Mubarak’s government expelled Jean-Louis Ekra, the new Ivorian president of Afreximbank, a multilateral African trade bank based in Cairo. Ekra is temporarily running Afreximbank from London; Egypt has written to its correspondent banks there, urging them not to follow Ekra’s instructions. The Bank’s board threatens to move it to another African state and wants the Egyptian government both to rescind the expulsion order on Ekra and to reverse instructions from the Central Bank of Egypt that two state-owned banks must default on loans worth US$40 million.

Race for the presidency
The race to choose a new president for the African Development Bank is becoming increasingly bitter and political ahead of its annual meeting, due in Abuja, Nigeria, on 17-19 May. With the African Union now negotiating peace treaties and running peacekeeping operations and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NePAD) managing development projects and recruiting investors, there is a much bigger role for the ADB.

    STOP FORECLOSURE WITH CALIFORNIALOANRATE.COM

    CaliforniaLoanRate.com will work with you to develop a plan that best serves your particular needs. We will then negotiate with your lender to incorporate any changes that are needed to make the plan acceptable both to you and to your lender. Keeping you in your home is advantageous to the lender. Our job is to help them appreciate that advantage.
    SHORT SALES MAY SELL YOU SHORT
    You may have been told that a short sale is your only course of action.What you may not have been told is that you may be dealing with the consequences of that action for many years.
    DEADLINE SENSITIVITY
    We understand that you may be facing immediate deadlines and that any delay can mean a loss of meaningful options for relief.
    TYPICAL RESTRUCTURING PLANS
    Restructuring plans may include:
    Adding delinquent payments and any foreclosure fees to the back end of the loan. This may include a permanent reduction in your interest rate.
    Forbearance plans may be used to temporarily halt the foreclosure process for up to four years while you make payments to become current with the lender.
    GOALS OF NEGOTIATION WITH YOUR LENDER
    In our negotiations with your lender we are seeking to lower your payments, lower the interest rate, mitigate any negative impact on your credit rating, and keep your home from going into foreclosure. The lender benefits by continuing to receive payments on the mortgage, and saving on the costs that would be incurred in a foreclosure.
    WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
    We will need to document your income and expenses for the last two years. Documentation will include pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements and property tax bills, and all of the paperwork associated with your mortgage. We will need copies of your bills to document your financial situation and the factors that led to your falling behind. Please provide any other letters or notices that demonstrate that you faced a reduction in your income or higher than expected expenses.
    TELLING YOUR STORY
    We will ask you to prepare a draft letter that explains in your own words what factors have led to your need for a modification from the lender. It is important that you author this letter, and that it is not generic. Please include the details that bring to life the financial difficulties that you have faced. If you feel that you were not properly and fully informed regarding the terms of your loan, please describe the process by which you came to sign the loan papers and what your understanding of the terms of your loan was at that time.
