Here below is his answer to one of his critics
apn
____Â
Regarding an article on Kenya Stockholm Blog by Dishon Kinywa who pretends to be in
London, as KSB mentioned since you are out to assasinate my name as the other rumour mongers in Stockholm, I know all my clients and that name does not ring a bell…this is the last article i will write in response to any
accusations..
I don’t want to lower my dignity in replying any articles that are not educative or progressive to Kenyans like this one…in your article you mentioned that you knew one day this was going to happen…what has happened? You also mentioned that you have no grudge with me…
So why did’t you come out clean and say what i did? For your information since i know you are still suffering looking for your papers in london, and changing addresses dodging cops, you said Mungu sio Athumani…Mungu has really helped me in accquiring my achievments.
I am not in jail as you think,i got married 2 years ago and had a wonderful wedding that was well attended by so many friends,i have 4 lovely kids and a wonderful wife..have just started another business that is picking up so well.
My advice to Dishon Kinywa, Gerry Midenyo and George Mengo and a few others that might pop up.. please visit a mental hospital, it is free in
sweden, you do have a loose nerve in your brains…
You have been living on earth for over 18,250 days approximately..think wise and write educative articles instead. I have so many people that believe in me so dont waste your times….
I do apologise to Kenyans and friends who might think this was uncalled for, and I really appreciate all your supports.

Jacobsen, age 20, surprised not only her country but herself as well by winning the Cross-Country Ladies’ Sprint Classical technique Final.
“This is a dream I hadn’t even dreamed could be fulfilled,” she told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK).
She took first place in an event that for the first time took place partially indoors. The sprint events began just after the opening ceremonies ended inside the Sapporo Dome.
Nearly 25,000 spectators were on hand for the opening ceremonies of the first Nordic skiing championships to be held in Asia. The competition runs through March 4.
Jacobsen qualified for the World Championship team from Norway after winning the Norwegian championships at MerĂĄker. On Thursday, she out-classed the world’s top skiers as well, including star Norwegian skier Marit Bjørgen.
Jens Arne Svartedal also grabbed gold for Norway, winning the men’s sprint just moments after Jacobsen’s victory. Fellow Norwegian Eldar Rønning finished third, claiming a bronze for Norway.”*

Conakry (Guinea) *”General Kerfala Camara recommended private workers and civil servants to resume work as from Monday, pending Thursday the return of pupils and students to schools and amphitheatres.
Following his radio and television address aired Friday, Kerfala created an atmosphere of surprise and disappointment among Guinean people, who were expecting from the General to “immediately” scrap the state of siege following the MPs’ unanimous vote against the exceptional provision in force since 12 February.
In his broadcast message, the Guinean chief of staff did not hint at any removal of that provision despite its expiration, in accordance with the relating dispositions of the decree. Gen. Kerfala rather announced a requisition provision, insisting that the “army forces will ensure its application of and the rule of law”.
President Lansana Conte entrusted his power to the army for a period that was to end on 23 February.
That move followed the repetitive demonstrations staged by Guinean trade unions in pursuance of their strike launched on 10 January.
After a few weeks of stalemate and violent acts, which left about hundred people dead in the country, the representatives of republican institutions (National Assembly, Supreme Court, Social and Economic Council) initiated last week negotiations but the trade unions continued to demand the lifting of the state of siege.”*

Khartoum (Sudan) *”A meningitis outbreak that has swept through Southern Sudan since January has continued to spread, killing 172 people, the World Health Organization (WHO) said here Sunday.
“Last year, we had just under 5,000 cases but only in four states, now it has spread further into eight states already,” said Philippe Verstraeten, at the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Sudan.
“Nearly 1,800 cases of infection have been identified since the beginning of the year,” Verstraeten said.
Southern Sudan, after suffering decades of civil war, has little or no infra-structure and is particularly at risk to outbreaks of disease.
According to the WHO, meningitis is an infection of the thin lining that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Often transmitted by coughing or sneezing, it can cause complications including brain damage and deafness.
The government of Southern Sudan has requested over 800,000 doses of meningitis vaccine from the International Coordinating Group on Vaccine Provision for Epidemic Meningitis Control.
Verstraeten said the vaccines would be used in the most heavily affected areas, including the Southern Sudanese capital of Juba, which has had 165 reported cases this year.”*
