Neno Evangelism Church televangelist James Maina Ng’ang’a made headlines for all the wrong reasons when it emerged that he killed Mercy Njeri through reckless driving and tried to dupe everyone as he sought the services of Tigoni Police Station officers who tried to cover up for him.

As we speak, Ng’ang’a is a man under siege after the Director of Public Prosecutions hinted that there is enough evidence to have Ng’ang’a convicted for the accident.

As if that is not lesson enough, another allegation has surfaced showing how police once again are trying to cover up for a MP after his car killed a motorist near some 2-3 weeks ago.

In fact it happened while we were busy crying for justice for the late Mercy Njeri.

And the legislator on the centre of the latest controversy is Borabu MP Ben Momanyi, reports Daily Nation.

According to the paper, “the accident, whose date is given as either July 31 or August 3, involved Borabu MP Ben Momanyi’s Toyota Land Cruiser and a motorcyclist, Mr Ernest Kipkemoi Arusei, who died on the spot.”

According to Eldoret Traffic Police boss Lawrence Analo, the accident occurred 6 kilometres from Eldoret town near Kapseret Centre and involved vehicle registration number KCA 330k which was being driven by Victor Menya, the MP’s driver.

Three officers who went to the scene of the accident were informed there were three occupants in the car at the time, including the MP, but failed to have them record statements, reports Daily Nation.

A senior police officer is reported to have said the MP was not summoned to record a statement because they did not find him on the scene of the accident. However, witnesses say the MP was in the car during the accident. He was with a former EACC top official.

The car indeed belongs to the MP according to records.

The driver was injured during the accident and was later beaten by residents when he tried to flee and later admitted in hospital for three days. However, the report filed by one Constable Wambalo does not indicate this. According to the records though, the car was overtaking improperly.

According to witnesses, the MP’s car was being chased by another car in what is believed to be a dispute over some dealings. After the accident, the MP is said to have headed straight to Eldoret International Airport, flew to Nairobi and then out of the country on the same evening.

On being discharged three days later, the driver went to the police station recorded a statement and said he was alone in during the accident. He also indicated that the accident occurred on 3^rd August, implying that by then the MP was in the US.

KTN must be celebrating following the success of one of their own! Nancy Kacungira is currently the most talked-about African anchor in the world.

Good news! Nancy Kacungira has won BBC World News Komla Dumor Award. The Ugandan national rubbed off competition from nearly 200 applicants to emerge victorious.

The award was established to honour Komla Dumor, a highly acclaimed journalist who presented Focus on Africa on BBC World News.

Komla, a Ghanaian born national died in January last year in his London home after suffering a cardiac arrest, he was only 41 at the time of his death.

The fallen Ghanaian journalist became the first host of the African business news programme on BBC World News, Africa Business Report in 2009.

He travelled across Africa, meeting Africa’s top entrepreneurs and reporting on the latest business trends around the continent.

It’s because of his great work at BBC that the UK broadcaster decided to honor him by starting an award after him.

Ugandan journalist and Kacungira’s colleague at KTN, Joy Doreen Biira, was quick to congratulate her for the great success.

“Congratulations to Nancy Kacungira for winning the first BBC Komla Dumor award.” Doreen made her voice heard.

 It started as a normal day with Size 8 getting dolled-up by a renowned make-up artiste for the biggest show of her life.

She then walks on to stage where she is received by a cheering fanatical crowd, and who can blame them, she is famed as the most energetic performer in the country. But she breaks down and passes out and she is rushed to the Karen Hospital in critical condition. A situation that leaves her younger sister DJ 7 struck with panic and crying frantically as her sister is rushed through the ER and wheeled into surgery.

Surgery does not go as planned and the surgeon-heroes sprint to help the dying patient whose blood pressure is dropping and the breathing has become labored. The numbers on the heart monitor are not favorable and people in the room become alarmed! But someone grabs the defibrillator paddles and jerks Size 8 back to life. This is the theme to Size 8’s new video “Afadhali Yesu” which in my humble opinion, is the best Size 8 song so far. Check it out below:

It is almost a month since the allegations arose against controversial televangelist James Maina Ng’ang’a of Neno Evangelism Church. Mercy Njeri is gone, yes, but all everyone wants is justice for her and her family after the accident allegedly caused by Pastor Ng’ang’a killed her and left her husband critically injured.

Pastor Ng’ang’a has again and again denied the accusations. But every detail points an accusing finger at the man of the cloth who is also said to have killed another person at the same spot some years ago.

A team constituted to investigate the incident indicated that he was indeed involved in the accident and colluded with police to cover-up for him.

And after the report was submitted to DPP Keriako Tobiko for further action, the DPP has indicated that Pastor Ng’ang’a will be prosecuted because there is evidence linking him to the murder of Mercy Njeri.

Speaking on Sunday, Tobiko said that he believes there is enough evidence to get Ng’ang’a convicted for the murder and for bribing police to cover-up for him.

Tobiko also indicated that his team has recommended some of the disciplinary measures that will be taken against the Police officers who colluded with the rogue preacher to cover-up for him.

Those handling the file have handed it to Tobiko this morning for his approval.

Huddah Monroe’s sponsor King Lawrence has gained a reputation as one who kisses and tells.

After bedding a certain reality show judge, he scandalized the continent after he shared photos of used condoms and her underwear. And if that was not enough, he publicized his alleged romp with Huddah Monroe.

But his worst deed has got to be what he did to Zari and Diamond Platnumz. After claiming that Zari’s ex Ivan, fathered young Tiffah, Diamond’s and Zari’s baby, he is now demanding a paternity test to prove that Tiffah belongs to Ivan.

This time, his followers have lost their patience and are bow hurling insults at him. Insults that will have you reaching for the Kamusi. I say, you do not engage Tanzanians in a war of words, just check this out:

Last week the most polygamous African leader in King Mswati III of Swaziland secretly jetted into the country to enjoy a holiday in the Masai Mara. Mswati has 15 wives to his name and still counting. The youngest is as young as Thika Superhighway.

And after Mswati III’s visit, Masai Mara has once again attracted another high profile African leader.

By the way wildebeests are doing their thing which is ranked among the seven wonders of the world. You know the famous crossing of the Mara?

Yes, this is what has attracted immediate former Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan and his family. Jonathan has jetted into the country to enjoy the beautiful scenery and has already been booked at the posh Angama Mara Lodge at the Oloolo conservancy, reports Tuko.

The former leader of the most populous country in Africa arrived in two private commercial planes, one carrying him, his wife and two children and the other with Kenya State Security.

Here are some photos from the Mara:

2014 was a big year for Lupita Ny’ong’o thanks to the Oscar and other awards and of course the numerous magazine covers. Who can forget that she was named “World Most Beautiful Woman” in 2014?

But despite being Hollywood’s ‘It Girl’ and rubbing shoulders with the big Kahuna’s in Hollywood, Lupita is still very much the modest affable Kenyan girl.

While promoting her upcoming blockbusters, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Jungle Book on Saturday, Lupita wore a hairstyle loved by many Nairobi girls.

This was at the Disney D23 Expo at the Anaheim convention center in Anaheim, Calif.

In addition, she visited Disneyland in a classic “Me I love Nairobi” t-shirt, a phrase coined by the tendency of Kenyans using the phrase “Me I” before every sentence.

This is not the first time Lupita has represented Kenya’s fashion sense in a global scale, at the Oscars last year she wore a stunning gown in a color she named “Nairobi Blue”

It is now as evident as an eight and half months pregnancy that celebrated actress Catherine Kamau famously known as Celina of Mother-in-law  and Philip Karanja popularly known as Melvin of Tahidi High are a thing.

Celina has never hidden her relationship with Melvin, publicly showering praise on him and sometimes smearing him with warm kisses, hugs and much more.

But Celina has never before revealed why she chose Melvin and why she is not shy from hiding her affair with the actor.

So she did over the weekend when she spoke to Sunday Nation’s Buzz.

Celina who left Mother-in-law after eight successful seasons opened the lid on her affair with Melvin, saying their relationship started a year ago and has since gone on very well as the two plan to wed in secrecy.

Celina says that when you meet your perfect match, you are always proud. And so this is one of the trillion reasons why she has never hid her relationship with the former Tahidi High actor.

According to the actresses, Nameless and Wahu are a great inspiration and so she intends, with her man, to be the Nameless and Wahu of the acting industry. She says that because her life is an open book and Melvin is part of it, everybody should know what they are doing together.

She said that no one will know when they wed. Probably they will know several weeks later when she finally releases the photos.

Melvin also inspires her because he is a gym enthusiast who introduced her to the gym and helped her keep fit by working out every day.

Nancy Kacungira beat 200 other contestants selected from all over the world to win a first in Kenya BBC’s Koomla Dumor Award.

“I am delighted that in Nancy we have found an extremely passionate and talented journalist, a worthy winner of the award that we established in Komla’s name.”

The late Koomla Dumor was an exceptional Ghanaian broadcaster who in his short life made an extraordinary impact – in Ghana, in Africa and around the world.

KTN, Nancy Kacungira. 

Well, she certainly had the last laugh. After mockery and bad wishes of divorce from a cold-hearted and cynical crop of Kenyans, Emmy Kosgei can rest easy as she is celebrating 2 years in marriage.

That’s quite a milestone. The two lovebirds jetted off today for the exotic Mara to celebrate this milestone with Emmy writing this poignant message in honor of her hubby “It’s been 2 amazing years since I said ‘I do’ to this wonderful man!I love you darling. . I can say this over n over again… looking forward to great years ahead, full of God’s blessings! #nakupenda #happyanniverssary! #masaimarapap #tourismtings #tembeakenya “

Here are photos shared by the two:

love birds  :

During the weekend, I accompanied one of my female friends to see her brother in hospital. Her brother has been diagnosed with full blown AIDS and is now in a critical condition. He never knew he had the virus until it was too late. The guy used to be a caretaker at a flat in Kasarani. After I talked to him for a little while, he opened up on how much he regretted his lifestyle.

During his heyday he slept with people’s wives, mboches, young single girls and even mama mbogas. And he was so sleek that he never got caught. The sad part is that he never used a condom so probably most of his playmates are carrying the virus too. He asked me to tell part of his story as a warning to others

My friend’s brother though, is hardly the first accomplished caretaker to leverage his position for pleasure and reckless gratification. According to my friend’s bro, most guys in his ‘profession’ are serial players. They roll around like emperors in their little kingdoms – the residential plots in which they ruthlessly abuse their positions for personal gain. They smash so ferociously you’d think that’s what they were sent on earth to do. In their wake, they leave HIV spreading like a wildfire

Stories of caretaker shagathons are layer cakes of ickiness that are guaranteed to leave you with a stomachache and a shame hangover, On the surface, there’s the sheer grossness of sleeping around with random women without protection, but on the inside, there are worse stories

From my urban connects, I gathered a few interesting narratives. In Kayole for example, there’s one who used to have threesomes with a mboch and the daughter of the house while the mother was away at work. In Huruma, there’s one nicknamed ‘ninja’ with good reason. Since some of the flats are really close, he jumps from one balcony to another at night in order to sneak into women’s houses and give them a dose of his ‘shuma’ . In Pangani, there’s one know for sleeping with people’s wives with the full knowledge of their husbands. In Zimmerman, there’s another caretaker who rewires electricity cables in the houses of female tenants so that they don’t have to pay for power. In return, they pay him bills in bed. In Umoja, tenants at a court were recently treated to a triple threat match greater than Wrestlemania between three women who all wanted to be the caretaker’s queen. Even worse, one of the women was about 50 years old

Whether these are actually inflated stories or the unblemished truth, they go about “unclosetting” the hidden and scandalous lives of house managers. Exploring, dissecting and conquering the bodies of women has become the norm for men tasked with overseeing residential properties, and clearly age is no exception from this immoral merry-go-round.

The methods that caretakers use to woo women are complex and sometimes unclear. Some are even rumored to be ‘juju powered’. How else can a man so simple and so ordinary yield so much power over women? I don’t believe in juju but there’s something about these guys, Something that eventually leads to their downfall.

Charming, attentive, interested, witty, flirtatious — these are the admirable traits of caretakers. But these traits are only served to women. These fellas are generally rude to men and fatherly to women. They step down on other men in order to appear mighty in the eyes of the female tenanats. It’s no surprise that they get beaten up all the time.

When you are out looking for a new house and you find a good one, then book it, pray and hope that a chic doesn’t come inquiring about the same house after you. You’ll definitely be called to be informed that the house is no longer available.

Such is the behavior of caretakers.

Wajaluo yawa! A Luo man brought Meru to a standstill after he marshaled friends in huge motorcade to accompany him to pay dowry.

Remember Jared Otieno, the dude who caused a stir when he bought a brand new German-Made Porsche worth Kes 30 million?

The guy is at it again. This time he took his flamboyance to Meru County where he was going to pay bride price for his sweetheart.

Jared was accompanied with a convoy that was stretching as far as one eye could see. It comprised of both classy rides and ordinary Japanese automobiles.

Yes, his 30 million Porsche was also very conspicuous in Meru plus there were also four choppers on standby.

Xtian Dela and his accomplice Cyprian Nyakundi are literally wolves in sheep skin. The two twitter bigwigs have been the centre of controversy for the past one week after Ghafla! Kenya exclusively smoked them out for their ignominious engagements that saw them try to extort 50M Kenyan money from one of East Africa’s biggest companies, Bidco.

Who doesn’t know Dela and Nyakundi by the way? Either on Instagram or Twitter, the two have a massive following, though doubtful.

I remember the last time I wrote about Xtian Dela and his controversial following he took to twitter, with the help of Nyakundi to mock Ghafla! and its employees. Well that is already buried.

Nyakundi and Dela’s actions of trying to extort the colossal sums of money from the company to allegedly kill a negative story about them hit a snag and now they are the laughing stock in town.

I listened to Nation FM over the weekend and Dela was not on air. As he been fired already? That is a story for another day.

On Friday, Larry Madowo led his colleagues on the Trend, the most famous TV show in Kenya, to put Dela and Nyakundi on the spot. Dela in particular was roasted, mocked and bashed by his colleagues who admitted they did not believe their colleague who claims to be saved had stooped that low to the extent of extorting money.

Ciku Muruiku, a fellow presenter at Nation FM, was amused by Dela’s actions. She lamented that her colleague was engaging in such bad activities yet he claims he is saved.

Larry Madowo, Ng’endo and Butita also reprimanded the holy Xtan Dela and the school drop-out Nyakundi for using their questionable fame to gain wealth through unscrupulous means.

Dela and Nyakundi are yet to come clean about this unfortunate incident.

Even before the storm could settle on the carnal encounter between Mollis and the poor lady, another shocker has popped to put Nairobi Taxi drivers in bad light.

Last Sunday, former Kenyan representative to Big Brother Africa (BBA); The Chase, Annabel Mbaru, brought to light damning revelation that shocked many.

The 26-year-old lady claims a taxi man tried to force himself into her as she left Vineyard in Westlands. Annabel says she only escaped from his jaws thanks to her persuasion.

According to the former BBA contestant, the taxi driver pounced on her breasts and told her not to utter a single word.

Noticing the man was about to do the unthinkable, she told him she’s in contact with powerful people who would make him pay dearly if he rapes her.

“He fondled my womanhood aka my breasts and told me to shut up! Power is everything in this country. I used powerful names to get him off my body.” Wrote Annabel in part.

The taxi man cowed to Annabel’s threat and let her loose. The lass managed to take the vehicles’ registration number (KBJ 645G) which she says she will used to trace the imbecile.

Annebel who has a degree in psychology and community development, was bold enough to narrate her ordeal on social media.

She now urges ladies to use reliable taxis whenever they need to move around at night or any other time whatsoever.

“If you need to go home, please use Easy Taxi or a reliable cabbie. I’m alive and still breathing!”

Over the weekend, the head of state flew all the way to Kilifi County to show support to one of his employees; ‎ Mining Cabinet Secretary, Najib Balala.

Last Saturday, Najib Balala’s son, Naeem Balala, walked down the aisle at a colorful ceremony that was attended by folks at Government’s upper echelon.

Balala’s son exchanged vows with his sweetheart, Safiya Omar Sherman, at Vipingo Ridge in Kilifi County.

As usual with Arab weddings, the bride was pimped with all manner of maquillage. Safiya was glowing brighter than a firefly.

Even though President Uhuru had a VERY busy weekend, he still managed to spare time amid his busy schedule to fly to Kilifi County to witness the two lovebirds start a new chapter of their lives.

The head of State was accompanied by other senior government official including the Chief Justice to show support to Mining CS.

Avril Nyambura has had her share of controversy back in the day, but she has grown to become better musically, but most noticeably, physically. She currently holds the mantle as one of the prettiest, hottest female artists in Kenya as we speak. 

 August 15th 2015: Avril joined a meet of other Kenyan celebrities who had  congregated at the Catholic University of East Africa for the National Dreams Come True auditions (Dreams Come True is a platform helping nurture talent in Schools) 

In attendance, other than Avril was, Kanze Dena of Citizen Tv, Christina Shusho, Lavender of Inspecata Mwala among others. It was all smooth saling until Christina Shusho walked to the podium to perform, but before she did, she was distracted by a lady who was walking out, It turned out that it was Avril who was going to answer a call. 

Christina Shusho requested Avril to join her on stage and proceeded to ask her to perform the song “Umenifanya Ning’are” Avril couldn’t, she was probably too star struck or was just trying to remain in her element, secular music. 

Christina Shusho was however not done with Avril, she went on to prod Avril as : 

C.S: Do you know that God loves you?

Avril: Yes I do 

C.S: Are you born again?

Avril: Not yet

C.S: Would you like us to pray for you?

(awkward silence)

Avril: (very faintly) Yes! 

Christina Shusho called for a pastor who was in the vicinity and Avril was prayed for, the hall was silent as she repeated the prompts from the pastor, 

When all was done, Jimmy K, the CEO Dreams Come went to the podium where he offered to sponsor a collaboration between Avril and Christina Shusho! 

Here is the video: 

So has Avril given her life to God? Or was it just the heat of the moment. 

 Now Watch this Video where she is being prayed for:

The four-man band that consists of Polycarp, Bien, Chimano and Mudigi made world headlines about a fortnight ago after they got Obama jamming to their ‘Lipala’ dance. Now they have told us to brace ourselves as they are getting in bed with Yemi, not literally, figuratively.

The ‘Money-Lover’ crooners announced their upcoming collaboration with this tweet.

This song comes about a year after they remixed ‘Sura Yako’ with the extremely sexy Iyanya

Just like you came through for Jadudi, Ezra needs you to come through for him. There is an old adage about friends in need. Time for you to do the needful, come through and give a champion a second chance at life. We all deserve a second chance at life: 

 What you will be reading in the next few minutes is what EZRA MOMANYI, a good friend to many, a man who loves all people, cannot now say because of his situation.

Brother Ezra Momanyi, at 23 years of age, is the eldest son in a family of 3. He has two younger sibling brothers. His youngest brother; John, is a candidate this year in Mecheo High School in Kisii County. His immediate follower; Edwin, is a level 1 diploma student in Tourism Management at the African Institute, Nakuru County. Ezra and his two brothers are total orphans having lost both parents while still in lower primary and have since depended on relatives, friends and God for their upkeep.

In school, Ezra is a brilliant hardworking student. He excelled in the 2006 KCPE earning him admission into the prestigious Kisii School where he attained a mean grade of B plain and joined The University of Nairobi’s School of Physical and Biological Sciences to study a BSc. in Geology.

Ezra is a quiet, soft spoken individual, talented leader and above all, a good friend. He has been one of the senior leaders of The University of Nairobi SDA Church since his first year in college.

When Ezra was in his second year, his studies were suddenly halted due to persistent ailment. This started with a swelling on the left nostril after an academic field tour to Magadi in early 2014. This swelling was followed by occasional headaches, persistent nose blockage and nose-bleeding. Ezra was later diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (a cancerous growth at the upper part of the throat behind the nose). The cancer was at its third stage.

His doctors immediately advised for 4 (four) sessions of chemotherapy and 30 (thirty) sessions of radiotherapy. In late 2014 Ezra deferred his studies and went for radiotherapy until early 2015. At one time, the radiotherapy machines broke down further delaying his treatment. His sessions could occasionally stall due to inadequate blood, not to mention the unexplainable pain that the therapies inflicted on his young fragile body. His hair dropped off one by one, his hearing ebbed away, his skin darkened; he was weakened, lost appetite among a plethora of side effects. His brother Edwin has had to take a break from his studies to take care of his ailing brother.

But through the help of students who donated blood, prayers, together with friends and family members who took care of him and provided specialized dietary needs, Ezra successfully managed to complete his chemo and radiotherapy sessions. The therapies and a new diet that Ezra adopted caused the tumor to shrink and all seemed well. All were optimistic of recovery. Ezra regained his hearing, the headaches were gone and the nose bleeding stopped. The doctors gave him a period to rest as he awaited a final test to prove whether the cancer cells had been eradicated. He planned to get back to campus to complete his 3rd year in September of 2015.

However, in May 2015, another tumor started growing below the left eye causing much damage to his facial bones and the left eye. A biopsy done in June 2015 at Kenyatta National Hospital revealed he had developed lymphoma cancer. He was then scheduled for another round of chemotherapy immediately after the wound that developed due to the previous tumor on the face healed, and after his immune system improved. He was discharged and his doctors, meanwhile directed that he visits a clinic for dressing of the wound on his face.

Due to the location of the new tumor, chemotherapy would be very harmful to Ezra; the family argued and hence sought for alternative specialized treatment to deal with the tumors.

It is August 2015. Ezra lies in bed, writhing in pain caused by tumors, too weak to walk, he cannot talk like you and I. But he is hanging to dear life; with a spirit of faith, hope and the courage of a soldier. The area around his left eye is presently swollen (Badly swollen) and yet the tumor keeps growing. His left eye is completely blocked and he is experiencing severe memory loss. Ezra cannot walk by his own and can scarcely speak.

Now is the time to listen to what Ezra is not saying. Now is the time to #Give4Ezra by supporting him financially. The fountain of love never dries. We, Yes you and me are his family now…

What is urgently needed at the moment is more financial aid for a private doctor and above all, your prayers.

We have an initial budget of KShs. 1,000,000 that will cater for his medical expenses and upkeep as he undergoes treatment (At least for now).

Back in the day, the term socialite was used to refer to women who dint necessarily work but managed to attend top-notch parties and exclusive events thanks to her cushy background and daddy moneybags.

Most of these women attended the best schools, wore the priciest jewelry and generally enjoyed a desirable lifestyle.

But the onset of Kim Kardashian brought in another breed of socialites. Socialites who did not necessarily come from a well-off and influential family. This new breed involved rummaging around for fame and influence through being at the heart of the social scene, partying and rummaging for media attention.

In Kenya, any girl who wants fast fame is able to gain it in the name of being a socialite. These socialites who mostly compose of desirable women with equally desirable derrieres, often post nude photos of themselves and engage in controversial acts in a bid to make it up the popularity scale. And hopefully make some coins in the process. Their money-making ways have raised eyebrows with many assuming that they engage in the world’s oldest business, the trade of the flesh.

Maybe that’s why Kamene Goro went in on someone when they referred to her as a socialite.

She says that she has a big problem with being referred to as a socialite because the definition of a socialite in Kenya is deplorable. “Their behavior, what they are associated with, I would hate to be associated with that.”

There has  been a wave  of changes sweeping across major media houses in Kenya, most notably in the standard group where two months ago over 300 workers were laid off  with the company citing “unforeseen industrial changes” 

 Now, the same is happening at Nation Media group. Nairobi news reports that Macharia Gaitho and Jaindi Kisero have left the employ of Nation Media Group. 

Macharia Gaitho  has been working as the managing Editor for Daily Nation while  Jaindi Kisero has been the business editor.  The two are said to have opted for earlier retirement. 

Editor-in-chief Tom Muindi issued a statement as: 

“I wish to announce the retirement of Jaindi Kisero and Macharia Gaitho at the end of August 2015 after a committed and distinguished service to the Nation Media Group. Both Jaindi and Macharia requested to retire early and we have reluctantly accepted their requests,-“Both of them have accepted my request to continue writing their columns and also serve the company as key consultant resources whenever required.”
