This is to say that I have read your article about me. While I appreciate your efforts to inform the public about my situation, I wish to point out that your information was a bit exaggerated.
I know the people who provided you with the information and the strange thing is that they are the very people who conned me out of my money. Because friends in Stockholm have also contacted me, I would like you to correct the following.
I am not stranded in Kenya. I am having some financial difficulties after my return ticket expired. I am pursuing legal action for the people who stole my money so the matter will be coming to the courts soon.
I have not been fund raising as you say. The fund raising you were told about were held to help other Kenyans who invited me to help. There are people who cannot send their kids to school while others cannot get medical attention. I have been raising money to help these people, not for my ticket.
I did go to the bank using police escort but it was only once when I went to withdraw a lot of money for a business transaction. There is a lot of crime in Kenya and I didn’t want to be robbed. Pepole do this all the time in Kenya so there is nothing special about it.
I don’t walk with body guards or do the things you talked about. I have some boys around me all the time but they are not bodyguards. They help me go around town because I have not been in Kenya for a long time. They dress smartly in suits because I am a businessman and I meet important people. It is therefore important that the people I walk around with are smart.
The red carpet idea was not my idea. It only happened once when I went to help a friend raise money for his father for treatment. I don’t carry a red carpet in my car. The people thought that I deserved a red carpet because I was using my money to help people. Politicians use stolen money and they don’t even help.
I haven’t hired any Prados to move around because that would be a waste of money. I must admit that I have come to respect your ability to get information.
I am not coming back to Sweden. Although I lost some money, I am still on my feet and able to survive. It is true that some of my property was sold but not everything was lost. I had not put all my property in the bank loan security because I am not thick.
I had my own financial problems with the Swedish authorities but I am working on them. I am very disappointed that after people conned me here, they rushed to KSB with wrong details to portray me as a failure who was stranded in Kenya. I am not stranded. I am doing well and will welcome any Mwananchi from Stockholm for a cold one.
