Alex Polier -- The Kenya connection

For those of you interested in the Alex Polier Kenya connection here is a summary (repeating some of the stuff I wrote yesterday and adding waht little new info there is):

Alex Polier was, as of 5pm Kenya time, hiding out in Nairobi. She and her fiance, Yaron (sp) Schwartzman were staying at the home of his parents Joseph and Hannah. The London Evening Standard reported last night that she was already in the UK. They were wrong, although there is a possibility she may have flown later on last night -- but I think it is more likely she was still here.

Alex and Yaron were moved from the family's palacial home in the upmarket Nairobi suburb of Lavington late last night to avoid the press. They could be anywhere in Kenya -- at the coast or on Safari.

Yaron is believed to work in Nairobi at a company called Film Struck Studios or possible Film Studios. The company is owned by daddy. He is believed to move in a circle of friends known as the "cokehead set". Now there is more than one cokehead set in Kenya, which attracts old wealth, new wealth, British Aristocracy and some of the international gliterrati.

Daddy is the chairman of an engineering company called H Young, which is owned by former cabinet minister Nicholas Biwott. Biwott is a nasty piece of work. Former President Daniel arap Moi's right hand man, a Scotland Yard enquiry named him the prime suspect in the 1990 murder of Foreign Minister Robert Ouko. He plundered the Kenyan treasury and is known here as "the Godfather", "Mr 15 percent" (the cuts he took when awarding tenders to multinational companies) or "The Total Man" (he owns Total Kenya). Daddy is also business partner of Naushad Merali, another Moi frontman, a multimillionaire and probably Kenya's richest Asian.

This would suggest our man Yaron mixes with the 20 and 30-somethings who are the children or spouses of Kenya's leading criminals. The senior members of this set are Biwott's Israeli wife Rita and his son in law Charles Field-Marshall, a controversial Kenya-based Canadian businessman.

Even close friends of Yaron say they know nothing of the relationship with Kerry -- mainly because no-one really knows Alex.

The British press are finding it difficult to track her down -- they are attempting to "doorstep" her. This is a tricky process in nairobi where houses sit on 5-acre plots, cannot be seen from the road, are protected by big black gates, alarms, electric fences, a host of security guards and their dogs.

It has not helped that the British press were also watching the wrong house.

Hope this is useful to someone out there.

My head is spinning. How did Bill Clinton manage to stay out of this cast of characters?

[ambrose]

how did you get this info?

[GOPyouth]

Pretty impressive work.

Charles Field-Marshall

Interesting name?

[nopardons]

Holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[propertius]

I live in Nairobi and I just dug around and made a few phone calls...

[dandelion]

Also google "Alexandra Polier" - she also writes by that name...

[ambrose]

Any word on the street as to whether she was having an affair with Kerry?

I'm not sure this leads anywhere. If she's hiding, she doesn't want to talk. Even if the press tracks her down, she can refuse to comment or even deny it.

Then the hunt is on for semen stained clothing.

Good stuff.

Sounds as if she is untouchable unless she doesn't want to be.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Excellent work!

Please keep digging, when you get the chance. The most interesting post of the day!

[kcvl]

Who said he did? Has anyone seen him lately? lol!

[propertius]

I think the fact that she hasn't issued a denial is telling. Everyone around her knows virtually nothing about it, but that's because they don't know her. It would be much easier for her to come out and tell the press "I don't know what this is all about" so why isn't she?

[ambrose]

Sounds like she is hanging with some fairly unsavory characters. She may not be able to make a statement if she wanted to.

thanks very much...

The place reminds me of the cantina scene in the first Star Wars movie. Kind of a Bill Clinton hang out.
