I Invite Sarah Elderkin To My Church To Be Baptised

MONDAY, 29 AUGUST 2011 00:11 BY KAMLESH PATTNI

 I write in response to articles in The Star on July 18, 19, and 20 authored by my sister-in-Christ Sarah Elderkin. Under Article 35(2) of the new Constitution I am entitled to correct the wild allegations made against me. The British Scotland Yard report dated September 19, 1995 confirms export of gold to Engelhard Gold Refinery in the UK. The report has always been concealed, even during the Bosire Commission, to conceal the truth about Goldenberg from the Kenyan public.

If it were not for ulterior political motives and the Moi succession era, the truth of Goldenberg would have not been so distorted. Sarah Elderkin resides in London (Editor: she in fact resides in Nairobi) and could have asked Englehard whether they bought gold from Goldenberg. To call Goldenberg a “hill of beans” is an insult to a company that did so much to overcome the effects of the embargo imposed by the donor community on this country in the early 1990s.

Elderkin’s assertion that Kenya produces minimal amounts of gold is incorrect. Kenya exported 616,156 grams in 2005; 432,317gms in 2006; 3,023,325gms in 2007;  339,923gms in 2008; and 1,055,330gms in 2009. Her articles exhibit a long standing vendetta that started in July 1993 when she first wrote derogatory and venomous articles about Goldenberg. Sarah has taken every opportunity to malign me as if I am the only one in Kenya worthy of her demonic interest as a freelance journalist on the pretext that I am a presidential candidate which I DO NOT intend to be!

In her article of July 18, she belittled me as a person unworthy to vie for the forthcoming presidential elections.  Out of over 20 presidential candidates who have formally declared their intention, she chooses to draw attention to me whereas I have never declared my desire formally or at all, save for the Gospel preaching in Machakos where I said “It is the Lord who chooses the King”. It would seem Ms Elderkin is implying that the rest of the candidates have no sins at all and that I am the sole sinner. As the good book says in Romans 3:23 “all have sinned and come short of God’s glory.”

Sarah Elderkin has chosen to concentrate on me because I am part of the Asian minority. If it be the will of God for the KENDA Party to choose its presidential candidate, it would nominate a candidate and the people of Kenya will decide. Sarah Elderkin, in mocking me in her articles, intentionally failed to mention many persons charged with criminal offences, for instance over Anglo Leasing, Triton, and the Free Primary Education scandal. Ms. Elderkin conveniently did not mention that I am the only person who has made restitution of billions of shillings, including the Grand Regency Hotel, to benefit this country and end the long drawn persecution I have had to endure.

Furthermore she blames Goldenberg for the massive inflation in the 1990s in Kenya. Currently the country faces huge inflation and the devaluation of the shilling from 68 to 91 shillings to the US Dollar. Yet she fails to explain the difference between devaluation then and now.
Who is to blame for the current devaluation and if it be the major commercial banks as explained by the Central Bank of Kenya, should those major commercial banks be criminally charged?

Why is Ms. Elderkin not so keen to investigate  the currentplayers behind the recent devaluation and current inflation of food prices?
I cite the case wherein I was charged in 200I for murder. The media published front pages that I had murdered Friedrick Wilhem Kohlwes for “fake money business”. Yet after the gruelling murder trial, the High Court acquitted me, without the need of my defence, and declared that the charges were malicious. This trial is a glaring example of the forces of darkness that use utter lies at the expense of the destruction of my life, character and integrity. Sarah Elderkin currently belongs to that category.

I have never been afraid of a full trial regarding Goldenberg. However the likes of Sarah Elderkin have so distorted the facts about Goldenberg that it has become impossible to have a fair trial free from prejudicial and mind poisoning lies. I can only compare the malicious articles to the Book of Genesis 39 where Potiphar’s wife falsely accused Joseph for crimes he had never committed, branded him criminal and had him put in jail for no fault of his own. Yet God was with Joseph who came out of prison and governed Egypt.

Or compare her conduct to the book of Daniel where the people around King Nebuchadnezzar who were jealous of Daniel’s wisdom falsely accused him and put him in the den of lions. Yet God was with Daniel and he came out unscathed and a witness of God’s power.
If you want to know the truth, my dear sister in Christ, I am ready to meet you in any public forum or debate so your burden of ill feeling towards my person can be removed.

But my one piece of advice, which I can quote from the holy book, is do not judge your brother harshly or you too shall be judged by the same standards one day. If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.

I invite you to visit my Hope International Ministries to understand forgiveness. Life is not all about anger, vendetta, vengeance and revenge, as we are not in this earth for eternity. For Heaven and earth shall pass away, but God’s word will never pass away! I would like to give you an open invitation to visit my church and to be baptised so that you will bask in the glory of God and see the light which I have seen. If not now, then any time in your later life when you feel the need to do so.

God bless you.
