In Summary
The police statement that they have been in the
hunt for the suspects indicates that concern over fake money in
circulation has been rife for some time in Kilimanjaro, with many people
falling prey.
There are many among us who want to earn a
living – and even, get rich – without working. Instead of toiling like
everybody else to produce goods or offer services in exchange for pay,
some people have even the audacity to literally print cash of their own.
We have in mind people like the four arrested in
Kilimanjaro Region over the weekend in possession of fake banknotes with
a face value of one million shillings in Sh10,000 denominations. To cap
it all, they were also seized with a machine with which to print some
more!

Conmen, fraudsters, forgers and all manner of
crooks out to make easy money will always be there in any society. Good
citizens, therefore, must be on their guard lest they make life easy for
such criminals. There is a need to make people permanently conscious of
the fact that not every single paper money handed to them is a genuine
banknote.
Everybody must remain alert whenever they receive
cash, for crooks are known to make use of some dishonest bankers to
penetrate their fakes into circulation. One cannot be too careful!
