Kenya deports terror suspects

Image
The Kenyan Government has deported four people of Arabian descent who were arrested at the Moi International airport shortly after arrival from Dubai yesterday. The four men were arrested shortly after disembarking from an Ethiopian airline that had flown from Dubai. Sources say that the four were questioned by the dreaded anti-terror police unit for much of Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning before Government officials decided to deport them. Sources told Mombasa Dispatch that the four had first been taken to the Regional Immigration offices under tight security where they were interrogated before being locked up at the Coast provincial police headquarters.

While I am not sure how they did it, Dispatch has it that the Major grave santcher who also goes by the name of Musalia Mudavadi will be opening the forum. Dispatch has also gathered that the City Undertaker one Geoffrey Ma-jiwa will also be attending to at least give tips to Mayors and other town council chairmen on how to eat from the grave. But what Dispatch has established is that eating from the grave is not as easy as eating maize and drinking Triton oil as one William Ruto and Kiraitu Murungi will attest. The contents of the grave stink to high heavens and Musalia will tell you that he has been stinking since he was mentioned by KACC without much of a reference.

He argues that his non-existent name was soiled and he wan
