Corruption at its best...gotta love this
On Tom Mboya Street, Nairobi ,Kenya A Pastor met a team of policemen who, quite naturally wanted '"Kitu Kidogo" (that is the household name for a bribe) from him, but since he wasn't prepared to play their games, they asked him to pull off and show his driving papers. Having gone through them, they had nothing to hold against the pastor, they asked him to open the bonnet of his car. A careful scrutiny of the engine number against that on paper revealed that letter U was written in such a way that it could be mistaken for letter V …. . The officer-in-charge yelled "stolen vehicle!!” The Pastor sensing trouble, even when he knew he had committed no offence, yelled back; "Am a pastor not a thief" The officer replied: "Please, leave that pastor thing...in any case, if you are indeed a pastor, then you must have a Bible in your car, bring it." The Pastor speedily brought out his Bible to proof his sanity.
"Please read Matthew 5:25-26 to me." Incredulously, Pastor opened to the recommended passage and read: "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to a judge, and the judge may hand you over to th e officer, and you may be thrown into prison. I tell you the truth; you will not get out until you have paid the last penny" The perplexed man of God "QUIETLY" made an "offering" of "some shillings to his newly found "preacher". The Officer collected his "kitu kidogo" and said to the pastor,
"End of service, go in peace and argue no more".
You can't beat such a cop at his game!
