["PHILIP MOI

It is understood that Philip has an estimated wealth of approximately $770 million and controls more hidden cash than Gideon, even though significant attention has been directed at the latter.

Whether by design or otherwise, the media more commonly associates Philip with motor vehicle tax fraud and other low-down economic vices. Therefore, unlike Gideon who would mainly wait for government-funded projects to broker deals, Philip's money machine was continuously churning out liquid cash on daily basis.

At a local level there is no single company in which Philip holds shares directly. He use proxies who range from low key Asians and houseboys who know little about the wealth in their names.

Zara/Rosanna Moi

During the beginning of December 2003[3], Philip made his move through Zara. She left the country for Italy, from where she visited Leichtenstein and Lugano located inside the Swiss canton of Ticino. It is believed that Ticino, though a remote area, consists of over 100 banks. Zara/Rosanna Moi, Philips Italian wife, estimates Philip's worth to be US$750 million[4].

Philip real'ses that his wife is relatively unknown and more so her Italⁱan connection, and thus instead of him travelling, possibly leaving a wide trail, he prefers to use his wife. Zara claimed, following her trip in December 2003, that most of Philip's money is invested overseas.

Source enquiries indicate that major international drug barons mostly favour the Lugano destination and therefore it is not surprising that Philip's wife should visit the place soon after the change of government in Kenya. It has been reported that Philip is expected to mount massive fronts to cover for his wealth.

It alleged that Zara laments that government could be monitoring her husband's movements and as such Philip has kept them at the minimum. Mostly he prefers to hold his meetings at night often meeting his Asian intermediaries in their homes at night.

It has been reported that whilst Zara has been running errands overseas for Philip concerning their foreign accounts, it is apparent that she is not in control of Philip's overseas accounts in her name.

According to source enquiries, Zara is fully aware of where Philip's money is hidden and indeed confirmed having made several trips overseas on his behalf, delivering confidential information to his intermediaries.

Dr Clemente

Philip totally refuses to visit Italy and instead he has been using an Italian doctor named Dr Clemente to recover his money. Clemente is a listed director of Garian Investments, a company owned by Philip through his proxies. However, it would appear that Clemente may have reached some understanding with that family, because he left Nairobi late 2002, abandoning his practice, along with Rangers Restaurant, which he was running with Philip's wife. Therefore, part of the reason Mrs Moi was visiting Italy was to meet Dr Clemente to discuss this money.

Akasha Family

According to source enquiries, where narcotics are concerned it is understood that Philip dealt in Hashish, Madrax tablets, and Shang grown mainly around Mt. Kenya with the Akasha family. On hard drugs, Philip dealt mainly in Cocaine, providing cover to some Italian families dealing with drugs in Malindi and through his wife's family connections in Italy, they would receive bigger cuts once drugs are exported. The drug carte' in Malfndi was able to at times offload twenty-foot containers without docking facilities in Malindi. Hollowed furniture was also stuffed with drugs and exported. The Italian drug cartel operate the busiest Casino in Malindi where bets were quoted in Italian Lira and predominantly frequented by Italians[5].

Muzahim

Muzahim, who has been known to be a car dealer, a drug baron and involved in dealing with counterfeit money, has for the last fifteen years operated as Philip's partner in all the above vice. Philip provided the cover and Muzahim managed the operations[6].

Jointly, they made counterfeit dollars for Somalia, Zaire, Sudan and_, Liberia. Muzahim has full documentation of all his dealings with Philip, including bank accounts used. He also has documentary evidence reflecting deals done by Philip on his own, which he used to obtain from Philip's employees whom he used to pay handsomely.

When Muzahim and Philip fell out, Philip paid an assassin to eliminate Muzahim but unfortunately the would-be assassin confessed to Muzahim and got paid off[7]. Muzahim would like to cut a deal to provide information on Goldenberg.

It has been learned through source enquries that Muzahim has indicated his willingness to sell information along with documentary evidence based on Philip[8].
