24th February 2004
Further to my report of 9th January 2004, I have either spoken or met Mr. Pulin Shah and Dr. Brian Peter Harrop on roughly nine occasions. I have also been in constant communication with Mr. George Otieno of Barclays Africa Security and Investigative Services (BASIS), since 9th January 2004.
On Thursday, 19th February 2004, I had a meeting with Mr. Otieno and a Mr. Kisaka of the Central Bank of Kenya Banking Fraud Investigation Unit, and they both advised me to activate the cell phone handset given to me by Mr. Shah on 15th December 2003. This I did on Friday, 20th February 2004 by acquiring Safaricom cell phone No. XXXX XXXXXX.
On Monday, 23rd February 2004, I met Mr. Shah at The Stanley Hotel’s Thorn Tree restaurant at about 6.15 p.m. As was the case on 15th December 2003, we chatted briefly and proceeded to The Serena Hotel poolside bar. At the Serena Hotel, I gave Mr. Shah six dormant accounts sanctioned by the Office i.e. Barclays Advisory and Registrar Services Limited, which “we were to target for our fraudulent schemes”. Mr. Shah was pleased with the progress and said he would report the same back to Dr. Harrop, who he said was currently in the United Kingdom. We then engaged in general and lengthy discussions over drinks, Mr. Shah drinking red wine and I, Tusker Lager beers.
In between, we were joined by a lady friend of Mr. Shah’s called Natalya, a Russian residing in Nairobi. In between also, the alcohol starting taking effect and Mr. Shah slightly let down his guard. During this lapse, I gathered from Mr. Shah that local Kenyan Whites, who Mr. Shah referred to as “KCs” i.e. “Karen Cowboys”, were involved in the US $ 250,000 fraudulent transaction involving EABL share a/c No. XXXXXXXX in the name of Nicholas Colin Olivier Watney. He did not however reveal their identities. He like Dr. Harrop, was also upset at being partly “double crossed” by the “Karen Cowboys”. According to Mr. Shah for instance, the “Karen Cowboys” said that they had an inside contact in Barclays Advisory and Registrar Services Limited, which he and Brian later established was not true. Mr. Shah also made mention of “some Kikuyus” who wanted “more than their fair share of the spoils”, something that also displeased both he and Dr. Harrop.
Regarding the above Nicholas Colin Olivier Watney case, when Dr. Harrop and I met at The Stanley Hotel on 12th February 2004, he did mention a contact at the Head Office of East African Breweries Limited, who enabled them obtain the specimen signature of Nicholas Colin Olivier Watney. He revealed nothing further, however. On the three occasions that Dr. Harrop and I have met, we have both been drinking Tusker Lager beers, but Dr. Harrop appears more stringent with his guard than Mr. Shah.
My meeting with Mr. Shah on Monday, 23rd February 2004, ended at 11.00 p.m. at The Serena Hotel. He dropped me in town five minutes later, and we planned to have dinner on Wednesday, 25th February 2004. “Definite action plans” would be drawn up at the dinner meeting of Wednesday, 25th February 2004.
