HEADLINE: kenya asks norway not to believe cheating envoy
DATELINE: nairobi, august 27; ITEM NO: 0827012
BODY: the kenyan government today disowned a self-appointed "diplomat" named sammy korir who has been appearing on the norwegian television, claiming himself as a spokesman of the kenyan government in norway. a statement issued here by the kenyan foreign ministry today said that "mr. korir is a wanted criminal in kenya to answer fraud charges, and whatever he is doing in norway has nothing to do with the kenyan government."
the statement asked the norwegian people to ignore the escaped criminal and be very careful in dealing with him. korir, a former district officer for the makadara division in nairobi, was recently reported to have called three press conferences and a television interview in oslo, presenting himself as a personal envoy of kenyan president daniel arap moi. he told the media there that kenya would break diplomatic relations with sweden and norway because of bad press reports on the human right situation in kenya. although korir's representation has been officially disowned, the kenyan government has recently expressed its dissatisfaction with the press in sweden and norway for reporting alleged "human right violations" in kenya in the past two years. three days ago, permanent secretary of the kenyan foreign ministry bethwel kiplagat said that the swedish press, with the "tacit connivance of the government has written several negative stories on kenya and most of them are inaccurate, malicious and biased." kenyan president daniel arap moi has cancelled scheduled state visits next month to norway and sweden because of "the unfriendly behavior of the two governments," mr. kiplagat said.

It’s going on three weeks now since I wired funds into your account and I want to know when are you going to transfer my half of the $20 million you promised?
I don’t know but I will always remember how much comic relief he provided!
The US military is not in iraq!
He’s doing stand up comedy in some liberal nightclub.
The truth will come out, people. Remember, where’s there’s smoke, there’s usually someone trying to blow it up your . . . .

To starting2doubt,
Please do not doubt us. I am really doing my best. I have just updated this story just to make you people understand that this deal is real, If someone there in Fox is getting cold feet, we will warm the cold feet. In the agreement it is clearly stated that any party breaking the agreement wil pay a huge compensation and the tape given to others to make it public.
Let us all be good to one another.
My folks blocked people today but I feel that people should be allowed to exchange information.
Some people are blocked because they are only interested in attacking me all the time and abusing my character. I have not wronged anybody.
I will not give up until the right thing is done.
Chief editor Korir
And if there is a contract, Mr. Korir would have no trouble disclosing its terms. He's full of it.
That was probably an Obama site so he could collect the emails of all that are against him so he can send them a virus or something after the election (when he loses) LOL I would not register at their site as some appear to have that left comments there.
Can someone post a link to this thread there? Please?
Sounds like a threat of a lawsuit. Where's John Edwards to represent API?
The tape is no longer germane to the issue, The McCain/ Palin ticket is on it’s way to a landslide victory.
Thank you for upholding the treasured principles of fair, truthful and honest reporting.
Now please slither back under the rock from whence you came.
Should we track down and ping some of the folks that fell for this story.
I think the Weekly World News is more credible than API and certainly more fun to read!
Wonder what they will have to say on Nov 5th?
Bets on the new scam?
They weren’t very good because nobody believed it after the first paragraph!
Bigfoot, UFO’s, the Illuminati, zombies and magic healing bananas. It’s all a big conspiracy.
After the hysteria calms from a McCain win, they—and Obama— will fade into oblivion much like John Kerry did.
