A few many years ago the company I was working for sold us and the aircraft to a Kenyan company, result being we had to get Kenyan Lic as aircraft became Kenyan reg. In those days I only had a CPL and as a result had to do that awefull Kenya CPL 100 question exam paper. Wrote it 3 times, was told by the Kenyans I was working with if I didn't pay the examiner I would never pass the exam. I found out later one of the Captains was approached and told if he didn't pay $XXX I wouldn't pass the exam. I believe he did pay the bucks and I got the Licence. I don't believe in bribes but that is the way of africa... thankfully never been in that situation again. Personaly I wouldn't bribe because once you start you'll never get anything done until money changes hands!!
