Kamlesh Manusuklal Damji Pattni

Kamlesh Mansukhlal Damji Pattni (born 1965) is a Kenyan businessman implicated in the Goldenberg scandal. Since 1990 he was the chairman of Goldenberg International Ltd,^[1]

Kamlesh Pattni was born in Mombasa, Kenya. He later moved to Nairobi, where he allegedly used his company to acquire billions of shillings, in league with prominent politicians and government officials in the Goldenberg scandal. Many other people were also undoubtedly involved. The effects of Goldenberg were devastating to Kenya's economy in the late 1990s. He has been jailed on multiple occasions but has always managed to get free.

The Daily Nation reports that Kamlesh Pattni is now a baptised Christian taking the name of Paul.^[2]

On 13 February 2006 he was required to hand in his passport during new enquiries.

After losing out in the battle for the ownership of the Grand Regency Hotel, Nairobi businessman Kamlesh Pattni has now come up with an even grander project; a seven star Sh4 billion hotel complex just up the road from his former hotel that was taken over by Libyans.

Pattni is the chairman of Kenya National Democratic Alliance (KENDA), a small political party. He was a parliamentary candidate at the 2007 elections.^[3]
