Here, leaked dossier, for your eyes only, don’t tell anybody, classified etc: It was originally a list of 100, but cutting shit down is my job

Five sentences that didn’t make it into the newspaper this week.

“His recent controversial album Bada has put him to the climax of his carrier making him a big contender for the artist of the year”

“The album, which he launched two months back had a big turn up but it’s sells has not sold as expected.”

“The single Nkuweeki is definitely one of the songs of the year, an emotive love ballad Iryn sings so emotionally,”

“It is quite possible to urge that no one in Kampala has not yet heard this lady’s hit”

“I hate to see the disabled people braving the scorching sun heat. Some wallow in water poodles when it rains.”

it's easy to see why the sentence 'it's sells hasn't sold...' didn't make it to the newspaper.
now let me go back and see the rest again.
you know if you don't look carefully enough,'this lady's hit' can look like 'this lady shit'-
I'm just alerting everyone who might have read it as badly as I did the first time.

One day, when you're bored, read a Kenyan newspaper. Any. Here's an example of a sentence that DID make it: "Kenyans are yawning for change."

I have nothing further to add, your honour, except to say that that's why I murdered the editor.
