Nairobi
3rd March 2004
Further to Friday morning, 27th February 2004, I sent Mr. Shah an SMS on Monday morning, 1st March 2004, asking him whether there were any new developments. He did not respond to my message.
On Monday evening, 1st March 2004, I went to watch a film at Nairobi’s Kenya cinema and therefore switched off the mobile given to me by Mr. Shah on 15th December 2003. The film ended a few minutes after 8.00 p.m. When I switched on the mobile again, I found an SMS message from Mr. Shah telling me that he had tried to call me unsuccessfully. I attended to other private matters and then called Mr. Shah at 9.30 p.m. Mr. Shah told me that Dr. Harrop had already sent an e-mail to bbk@africaonline.co.ke, and as he put it “the ball was already rolling”.
On Tuesday morning, 2nd March 2004, I reported the progress to the Head of Registrar Services, who then made enquiries about the e-mail to the relevant persons. The response was that bbk@africaonline.co.ke, was an obsolete e-mail address. I was then provided with two alternative e-mail addresses i.e. barclays.kenya@barclays.com and azu.ogola@barclays.com, for me to pass on to Mr. Shah. This I did through SMS at approximately 12.23 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, 2nd March 2004. The e-mail address I sent to Mr. Shah by SMS was barclays.kenya@barclays.com. I also apologised to Mr. Shah in the same SMS, for providing the initial obsolete e-mail address. Mr. Shah acknowledged receipt with thanks by SMS.
I tried calling Mr. Shah on Tuesday evening, 2nd March 2004 to ask him whether there was any need for us to meet the same evening, but couldn’t get through. I however left a message for him on his voice mail. I similarly went to watch a film at Nairobi’s 20th Century Fox Theatre on Tuesday evening, 2nd March 2004, and again switched off the mobile given to me by Mr. Shah on 15th December 2003. After the film ended at about 8.00 p.m., I switched on the mobile and again found an SMS message from Mr. Shah telling me he had tried to call me unsuccessfully. I called Mr. Shah at 8.08 p.m. and he told me that he had sent the e-mail address i.e. barclays.kenya@barclays.com, to Dr. Harrop, who had already sent a fresh e-mail. Mr. Shah also told me that the first e-mail sent by Dr. Harrop to bbk@africaonline.co.ke, had already returned back to sender as “undeliverable”. We agreed that we would talk the following day, Wednesday, 3rd March 2004, to review the progress.
Inconsistencies in some of the things that Mr. Shah is telling me are detectable. For instance, in our first meeting of 15th December 2003, Mr. Shah told me he attended Lenana School in the 1970s. On Monday, 23rd February 2004 while I was conversing generally with Mr. Shah, he at one moment however “recalled his school days in Nairobi School with among others, Gideon Moi”. It is general knowledge that Gideon Moi attended Nairobi’s St. Mary’s School.
It also appears that Mr. Shah has a hand in other dealings. During our brief meeting on Thursday evening, 26th February 2004 at Nairobi’s Grand Regency Hotel, Pulin told me he was scheduled that evening, to meet a gentleman from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), who helps him with errands related to Personal Identification Numbers (PIN). Mr. Shah did not however elaborate.
