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).

Date Rape Journalists' Link With Nicholas Biwott
The latest revelations exclusively reported here by Kumekucha, concerning well known International Kenyan journalist Jeff Koinange are shocking to say the least and will no doubt disappoint his many Kenyan fans.
Information of the date rape incident in a London hotel has been coming to this writer for over 2 weeks starting immediately after the incident and even as I verified the facts, the victim, Marianne Briner at one point taunted me; "Maybe you will not expose him because he is Kenyan and very famous."
In reply I emphasized that a date rapist is a date rapist, irrespective of their nationality or their personal friendship with me. It is quite likely that many other women have suffered in silence in the past while in the clutches of the journalist and it is important that everything is done to ensure that no other person suffers the same fate again.
It is worth noting that there is a significant age difference between the rape victim, Marianne Brinner and Jeff Koinange. In answer to this question by this writer to her, she said;
"Yes, the difference in age was discussed many times - mainly by me leading him to call me paranoid about this subject - but he assured me that this was no obstacle at all since he had been married before to a 20 years older woman in the United States .......... his current Asian-Kenyan wife to whom he is married since 7 years is therefore his second wife."
There may be a link between Jeff Koinange's first American wife (20 years older than him) and his American passport, which was stolen alongside his credit cards cash and other personal effects in an armed robbery incident in Johannesburg shortly after he arrived back from London (reported earlier in this blog). It is believed that his first wife passed on. The point is that if an older, more experienced woman was not safe on a date with the famous Kenyan journalist (or is it a former Kenyan, now American), then what are the chances that a younger woman would be safe?
It is deeply disturbing that his wife in fact accompanied Jeff Koinange to London during the date rape incident. Worse still she is said to be 14 weeks pregnant and my heart goes out to her and the trauma she has gone through in the recent past including the armed robbery incident in Johannesburg and this revelation about the date rape, which will no doubt reach her. But it is always better to know the truth and to know it as early as possible. This will be Jeff's first child as he did not have any children from his earlier marriage. In fact in several emails to his victim, he pointed out this fact and said that he was "very interested" in siring a child with the victim's daughter.
But even more disturbing are the threats to his victim who thanks to the corruption in Kenya and the continued power that Nicholas Biwott and retired President Moi wield, has continued to live in great fear for her life because of the information she has concerning the Ouko murder. (See this information and the real reason why Ouko was murdered). This is what led to Jeff Koinange's threatening telephone call to the victim where he told her that he may just end up losing his job over the incident, but she "would lose her life." The journalist threatened to pass on the information of exactly where she stays to Biwott.
Ms Briner has taken the threat very seriously and told this writer about an email she received from Jeff earlier this year;
"And to show you how 'intimate' he is with Biwott. On January 22 he wrote .......
By the way, I didn't tell you that on my last day in Nairobi just before I was checking out at the Norfolk, guess who waslks in??????????? TOTAL MAN!!!!!!! As usual, he walked up to me and gave me a BIG HUG (again, I wanted to run back to my room to take a shower) ... I also wanted to pass him your book and say I just got a copy and wondered if he'd heard about it ....... but since you'd signed it personally to me, I didn't want him to 'make the connection between you and me!!!!!!!!' But if you want me to pass him a copy with your 'BEST REGARDS', please let me know ..... I can always be your 'messenger'!!!!!!!!!!
