[edit] Removed section
I removed this paragraph from the main article, since it was too biased:
As a post-independence politician, however, Ngei virtually forgot about his electors in Kangundo and the Akamba people in general, going on to amass immense wealth at their expense and not addressing developmental issues in health, economic or education. His quest for personal wealth preceded any real political ambition, if any, that he had for Kenyans or for the Akamba. Thus, he was often seen getting in and out of expensive vehicles in plush clubs and hotels around Nairobi and Mombasa. A fiery-tempered man, he was known for his colourful language in and out of parliament, and was fond of toting his gun, which he kept on his person like a gangster, at his enemies. He was memorably implicated in the clove corruption scandal in 1973/74, and despite overwhelming evidence against him, he escaped censure. He enjoyed the personal protection and friendship of Jomo Kenyatta, the first president of Kenya.

- Absolutely. (I am curious what the "clove corruption scandal" was, though.) But the article is in much better shape now and I wanted to ask if there is consensus for removing the tag calling for an expert. Thanks.Itsmejudith 00:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have nothing against it. Anyway, I plan to continue referencing this article, but the process will take some time. Julius Sahara 17:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
