The Goldenberg scandal was a political scandal where the Kenyan government was found to have subsidised exports of gold far beyond standard arrangements during the 1990s, by paying the company Goldenberg International 35% more (in Kenyan shillings) than their foreign currency earnings. Although it notionally appears that the scheme was intended to earn hard currency for the country, it is estimated to have cost Kenya the equivalent of more than 10% of the country's annual gross domestic product, and it is possible that no or minimal amounts of gold were actually exported. The scandal appears to have involved political corruption at the highest levels of the government of Daniel Arap Moi. Officials in the former government of Mwai Kibaki have also been implicated.

dbo:abstract
  • Im so genannten Goldenberg-Skandal, der sich Anfang der 1990er Jahre in Kenia ereignete, ging es um eine Summe an Korruptionsgeldern, die mit etwa 700 Millionen Euro 10 Prozent des Bruttosozialprodukts des Landes umfasste. Offensichtlich waren neben korrupten Wirtschaftskapitänen zahlreiche Mitglieder der damaligen Regierung von Präsident Daniel arap Moi, aber auch einige der neuen Regierung von Präsident Mwai Kibaki (seit 2002/03) involviert. Aus beiden Regierungen waren die Präsidenten nicht selbst beteiligt, bei Moi jedoch seine Kinder und verschiedene Hintermänner. (de)
