Sultan briefs Epstein on Kenyatta's regional logistics park
DP World chairman Sultan Bin Sulayem attended Uhuru Kenyatta's 2013 inauguration as a personal guest, then returned in October 2014 to brief Epstein in real time on a three-hour Mombasa meeting that produced a multi-country logistics park serving Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, Central African Republic and Rwanda.
On April 9, 2013, Sultan Bin Sulayem messaged Epstein from Nairobi. "I am in Nairobi attending the inauguration of Uhuru Kenyatta as a president of Kenya whom I know very well," he wrote. Epstein replied within minutes: "great guy, lets vist there toghetr in june." Sultan answered "Good idea."
Eighteen months later, on October 25, 2014, Sultan was back in Kenya. He emailed Epstein from Mombasa with a single-sentence brief. "I am in Mombasa had a three hour meeting with president Uhuru Kenyata we are going to build a big logistic park to serve Kenya south Sudan Uganda central African republic and Rawanda Sultan."
The five countries Sultan named match the east and central African transit corridor that Mombasa anchors. The same template Sultan was building in Berbera, Bosaso and Dakar.
Epstein had no DP World role and no Africa portfolio. Sultan briefed him anyway, in real time, on a three-hour head-of-state meeting closing a multi-country infrastructure deal. The same pattern visible across Senegal, Nigeria, Somaliland and the rest of the DP World map.
