 OK, maybe I am a little slow this evening but I cannot make heads or tails out of this story so far and the links I went to repeat the same thing in this post. What exactly did Jeff Koinange do? Maybe there is a story behind the story that I do not know and that may be why the entire thing makes no sense to me?

Kenyan Date Rape Journalist: The Plot Thickens 

Today I reveal the identity of the Kenyan date rape journalist by 

reproducing an email letter sent by the victim to the journalists' superiors 

at CNN, including, Jim Walton (President CNN-Wordlwide), Chris Cramer 

(Executive Vice-President and Managing Director CNN-International), Jim 

Clancy and Johathan Mann as well as to Femi Oke (Inside-Africa). 
 

The furious victim whose identity I also reveal today sent off this email 

letter on Saturday; 
 

From: Marianne briner 

To: jim.walton 

Subject: jeff koinange - confidential 

Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2007 23:45:28 +0000 
 

Dear Mr. Walton, 
 

I had sent in August last year to Jeff Koinange the official Press Release 

of my Book "A Shining Star in Darkness" which talks about the killing of the 

former Kenyan Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr. Robert Ouko in 1990. I had 

been involved in the investigations and cooperated with Scotland Yard and 

gave last evidence in front of a Parliamentary Committee in Nairobi in 

November/December 2004. 
 

Jeff replied immediately and proposed to have an interview with CNN in 

Atlanta and to present the book in Inside-Africa. 
 

Soon after he started to call me and things changed to very private and 

personal matters. He then sent me by email photos showing him and Mandela 

(comment: sharing a special moment with a special friend), the photo of the 

Prix-Bayeux-Ceremony (comment: so now you know about if even before my wife 

does ...) and also some photos showing his Living-Room with his Art 

Collection (comment: I want you to know how I am living...) and then the 

book about his Grandfather (one copy he sent also to my daughter) - comment: 

This will give you an insight who I really am and where I come from ... 
 

During all this time he kept me also informed about his job, his 

assignments, either by phone (sometimes 3 - 4 times per day) or by email 

(here even upto 10 per day) sent from different places like Darfur, Congo, 

Botswana, Malaway etc. and last from Nigeria - besides the 'normal' ones 

from Johannesburg. 
 

Especially the Nigerian Report was then also a point of our discussion now 

in London when he gave me some inside information how he had arranged the 

encounter with these MEND people (" of course I had to pay certain people to 

get the story - but everything was done in agreement with CNN and in 

accordance with their usual standards - but you do not get such a story 

without bribing - you know how the world and especially in Nigeria functions 

- you have to have financial resources - but at the end it was worth it - 

CNN has its story and I have my 'fame' ......) 
 

The rest of our 'encounter' in London can be read in the attached document. 

It was nasty and now has turned into an open threat on my life since he 

warned me that he would give the details of my Spanish address and my Swiss 

one (where also my daughter lives) to Nicolas Biwott (in my book named Nick 

Boit). 
 

Especially the last sentence 'if I was prepared to 'MOVE' again' has made me 

decide to go with whole story into the open. I have to protect not only 

myself but also my daughter. 
 

Here you should know that I am living in fear since 15 years - I had to move 

more than a dozen times - and John Troon (retired Superintendent from 

Scotland Yard who at that time was leading the investigations in Kenya and 

with whom I am in contact since) has just now confirmed to me in London that 

I am still in danger. 
 

When he heard that I am in contact with Jeff Koinange, he told me in very 

strict words 'you have made a very big mistake to trust a man like him. He 

will sell you for a good story and also to Biwott - I am even convinced that 

he has set you up just for this reason ...." 
 

After what has happened in London I am starting to believe him. But I have 

decided to fight back. I have never been a coward and Jeff should know this. 

Just read his last emails where he is begging me not to disclose anything 

because it would 'destroy' him. 
 

I had given him time until March 10 to come here and clarify things and to 

assure me of the introduction to CNN - but he has decided to threaten me 

instead. 
 

I have sent the attached document already to Femi Oke together with some 

remarks Jeff made about her which are very offensive. It should make her a 

bit careful when dealing with him in the future since he is not the 'nice 

guy' as he pretends to be. 
 

As I said before, I had hoped to settle his whole nasty matter amicably in 

arranging the promised interview with CNN and also with Oprah Winfrey whom 

he had also mentioned would be interested to present my book on her Show. 

But he has decided not to accept my offer and has started to issuee serious 

threats against me. 
 

I am therefore going into the open and will start my blog under the title 

'The secret life of Jeff Koinange" ............ 
 

(The attached documents sent to the CNN bosses contained detailed emails 

contents of which I covered yesterday. They are yet to reply).
