Nairobi CID boss Ireri Kamwende says gun-wielding robbers today morning raided Jeff Koinage’s residence in Kitusuru.

It’s hard to believe robbery also happens in affluent neighborhood like Kitisuru which has round the clock security.

Indeed rich hoods too are not immune to incidences of robbery as it was witnessed today morning at Jeff Koinage’s residence.

Armed robbers early today morning stormed Jeff Koinange’s lavish home in Kitisuru and stole property of unknown value!

The Star reports that armed men shot in the air before they subdued the guard at the gate and forced their way into Jeff’s compound.

The robbers stole an assortment of electronics including Jeff’s computers. The incident happened today morning at 2:30am.

It’s not clear whether Jeff and his family were in the house during the robbery. The talk show king is yet to comment on the incident.

Thinking of vandalizing a transformer? Think a million times before you do it as Kenya Power has introduced a measure that will literally shock thieves that have been vandalizing transformers.

Vandals have pushed Kenya Power to introduce a deadly measure which will see thieves ‘fried’ alive if they attempt to vandalize transformers.

Frequent blackouts have been blamed on transformer vandalism and Kenya Power is keen to fix this mess once and for all.

Transformer oil which is the best for frying chips mwituu and copper wires which are easily sold to scrap metal dealers for easy money, are some of the reasons why transformers are frequently vandalized.

Kenya Power has now resorted to securing transformers with live wires. Transformers will now be placed above live wires meaning thieves will have to deal with electric currents that can easily electrocute them to death.

Ferdinand Waititu’s ambition to become the next governor of Kiambu is in a limbo after India’s Panjab University denied that the Kabete MP was their student between 1985 and 1988. Waititu claims he studied and obtained his degree at Panjab University and even has photo evidence. Also worrying is Kenya Airline Pilots Association (KALPA) planned strike, KQ pilots had planned industrial action today but the management of the national carrier moved to court to obtain order barring Kenya Airways pilots from striking.

The late Lucy Kibaki will be remembered for several things but the most notable would be her iron clad manner when handling those and what she deemed as demeaning her and her family. Most of the time at the end of her fury will be men many who got off with a slap. Here are 7 men who came to find out of her fury the hard way.

1. Moody Awori

The then VP had every good intention when he decided to have a toast in celebration to the First Lady at a New Year’s State House banquet. Either he had imbibed quite a powerful punch or he had been carried by the excitement of the occasion and he ended up toasting to Lucy Kibaki as the ‘second Lady’. A furious Lucy walked out of the ceremony bringing it to an end and the former VP has since clarified it was a slip of the tongue.

1. Matere Keriri

Here was one man who was the ultimate professional at his job, however, perceived notions by the late Lucy Kibaki that he was more towards the Wambui camp would first result in a hand shake snub at the airport and the then State House Comptroller would then be kicked out of his job in a short while.

Makhtar Diop

He was then the World Bank country director and he had a party at his home. Given the close proximity to state house, sounds and noise did fly over and an enraged Lucy Kibaki stormed the party with her night clothes to have it stopped. This party events would spill her wraths to other third parties.

Clifford Derrick

Lucy Kibaki got wind that the Nation was writing a story about her storming the Makhtar Diop party. She did not waste time but stormed the building and caused quite a havoc. Clifford Derrick was then a cameraman and present and proceeded to record the whole proceedings. As expected she was enraged by hiss action and slapped him before struggling with him to take away the camera.

State House MC

During Jamhuri day celebrations one state house MC had the misfortune of a massive tongue slip introducing the first lady as Lucy Kibaki Wambui. An enraged lady rose from where she sat and proceeded to slap a major one on the MC. The poor fellow was whisked away quickly and nothing was ever heard from him.

Gitobu Imanyara

His mistake was that of representing the photojournalist slapped by Mama Lucy Kibaki. Lucy never forgot nor forgave that and when Gitobu found himself at State House on a visit, he was given a slap before she demanded he leaves State House

George Saitoti

He earned the then First Lady’s wrath because of doing nothing, at least as she saw it. It was at the height of the Nakumatt Downtown fires and the Molo Oil Tanker fire that claimed about 145 lives. He did not get a slap but received a public dress down from Lucy Kibaki demanding he writes an explanation and gets working. The then Interior Security minister had to go to President Kibaki to seek validation and the matter ended with Kibaki declaring he had full confidence in his minister.

A few months after she gave birth to her second born, Kikuyu gospel singer Betty Bayo has dropped the weight and is looking pretty good.

The ‘Jemedari’ and ‘Siyabonga’ songbird showed off her new body in an orange dress that hugged her figure.

Check her out below:

 

Musicians have come, they have seen and it’s pretty obvious they have conquered; okay; At least some of them. Looking at the likes of Sauti Sol, who have come up from nothing to become something and with us showing them immense support, they are now a national treasure.

They can now comfortably afford to buy shoes worth a whooping Ksh 250,000 and cruise around in German cars. But what about our other artists? The ones who use paint and paper to create magical exhibitions which we hang in our house and brag to our friends while sipping some scotch spending hours on end trying to decipher what they mean?

I think they need support to, encouragement and trust me the fence has already being cleared by Villa Rosa Kempinski and all you have to do is join in and from there on the sky will be the limit. You can start off by attending Wasanii Jukwaani which is an annual event whose aim is to create a platform for young upcoming artists to showcase their skill. The artists will spend the week at the Villa Rosa Kempinski, working on the special piece of art. They will be positioned at the guests’ areas, where they will have the opportunity to interact with the hotel guests, as well as lovers of art, and take them through a step –by-step process of how they come up with their unique pieces. Each year, Wasanii Jukwaani, will have a theme towards which a potion of the proceeds will be directed to.

The 2016 edition is already here and it started on Monday scheduled to end on Friday. Kenyan artists, who have been carefully selected, based on their artistic prowess, including Collins Okelo, famously renowned for   sketching Presidents Uhuru Kenyatta and Barack Obama’s portrait, will be working on a special art on various medium to create new and original artworks in the hotel. There will be an auction of these pieces on Saturday 30^th April from 1800hrs, an ‘invite only’ event hosted by Villa Rosa Kempinski.

This year’s theme is ‘Conservation of Elephants”. The artists have however been given a lee-way to create their own-inspired art to allow them to showcase their best. 20% of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to Wild Aid for Elephant Conservation

Every man dreams of that moment when they will get that hot girl to visit them in their house. Ladies do come and some leave without spreading legs thanks to the mistakes hyenas do during that precious visit.

Meet her, vibe her, exchange phone numbers, go for the first date, another date twice or thrice, invite her to your crib then feast on her cookie; the mind of a typical Team Mafisi thinking.

Getting them ladies to visit you in your crib is a challenge itself but making her drop panties requires planning of an astronomical proportion.

Some mafisi will end up fapping after hosting girls they meant to smash just because they prematurely pounced on the prey before they could leap away with lame excuses.

We have sampled some of the blunder Team Mafisi do that make them end up cockblocking themselves.

1. Too horny she can notice it

Men are horny most of the time they are waiting for that knock on the door but the problem comes when the lady notices it.

Some dudes will open the door when they have already pitched a tent, a visible hard-on scares a lady in many ways.

Some hyenas have a raging erection that they can’t even serve the girl juice or any other drink for that matter. They are in a hurry to sink Johnny in vajayjay even before the girl is in the mood.

This uncontrolled thirst will most certainly make the lady sit tight with her legs crossed. You won’t be getting it!

2. Playing too cool

Another problem with mafisi is acting a perfect gentleman, mostly because they don’t know how to play their cards.

The fear of making the first move without facing intense distaste and aversion from the chick makes some dudes act way too cool as if the idea of shagging her hasn’t crossed their minds.

The girl will get bored with a timid man who doesn’t know how to approach her. She will concoct a plan to leave you with your mind-numbing house to entertain yourself with the boredom.

3. Cliché lines

“Aki naumia sana, si unipee ntaingiza kichwa tu” Team Mafisi pickup line.

The lady is showing signs she’s ready to give you the green light to explore her cookie jar but she needs more convincing and pampering from you and you end f***ng up with silly pickup lines.

Fisi slip at this stage with cliché lines and end up not getting it. The lady notices you are desperate then she makes you her slave.

“Mwisho nlikula 3 months ago” You pick this line forgetting you had told her in a text chat that you last smashed your ex 6 months ago. You won’t be getting it!

4. ‘The couch is uncomfortable can we move to the bed’

Fisi will do anything to get the lady to move from the couch to the bed. What you do and what you say determines whether you will be soaking your ‘little man’ in ‘wetland’.

Ninjas will come up with all sort of hilarious excuses to get the lady to the bed. You have only started the kissing and cuddling phase for a few seconds and you are already pleading with her to move to the bed.

She tells you to wait a minute so that the foreplay could fire her up and make her beg for a drill and you are there telling her how the couch is so uncomfortable. You won’t be getting it!

5. Choice of condom

She is in bed and clothes are now dropping then she asks you to get the rubber. And because you are economical with your finances you pull out a packet of sure condoms. Or the best you have is some funny brands that don’t have a name visible on the package.

She sends you to get good latex and when you come back she’s dressed and rushing to attend to an emergency!

While Nairobi County Askaris have fun and conduct their harassment and bribe collection rings with impunity, their Mombasa counterparts are having quite a hard time.

Coast Governor Hassan Joho surprised a pair of the officers when he had the whole group paraded in public to enable a resident pick the two who had extorted money from him.

The man one Peter Oluoch managed to identify the two officers who were interdicted promptly as they await to be charged for corruption. The governor issued a stern warning to other corrupt officers saying his county government will deal with any corrupt officers promptly and punitively.

Here are the photos he also shared

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Michelle Oyola gained popularity for dating his rapcellency Prezzo. But it seems that her unsavoury behaviour on ‘Nairobi Diaries’ is now alienating her fans.

From saying that Prezzo doesn’t like dark skins like Pendo, to whining about Pendo wherever she goes and tussling with the ghetto princess, her popularity is just dwindling day by day.

Maybe that is why some of her co-stars and KOT have taken to throwing shade her way. And the one thing people seem to say is that she aint sh*t without the make-up.

The young lady is hell-bent on addressing her haters and shared some make-up free selfies to show that she is still fine.

“Oh uuum I heard ya’ll were saying I ain’t sh*t without the makeup and hair lol b**ch where? ??? #Straight from Western #Kamluhya kaflani amaizing hivi” she captioned one of the selfies.

 

Hate or chide Bahati and Willy Paul for their childish antics, ‘secularized’ lifestyles and other antics they come up with, but give them their due as one of the most popular gospel acts in the country.

As a matter of fact their popularity transcends the gospel industry. It is this standing and the fact that each of them had a number of hits this year that led to many being surprised following their exclusion at the annual Groove Awards Nomination.

The ceremony which was done at KNT released names for this year’s nominees. Willy Paul attended the event while Bahati skipped it. Explanation given by the organizers for the omission of the two from the list of nominations is that their protracted public beef was unchristian and against the very values the gospel industry aimed to promote.

For a long time, Bridget Shighadi and Nick Mutuma were Kenya’s hottest couple until their unfortunate break-up.

The two have however remained friends and even hanged out at Bridget’s birthday party and had a photo-shoot for her clothing line Yedu. Thanks to Yedu, Bridget has managed to step away from Nick Mutuma’s shadow and has now gained fame as her own person.

The petite beauty recently did something drastic that left our jaws on the floor. She chopped her enviable tresses, opting for short hair. Which I must say looks so damn good on her. Best haircut ever!

Check her out below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 2016 Groove Awards will mark 11 years of historic achievements in the regional gospel music industry.

To kick off a series of events that will take place in the coming months, the Groove Awards unveiled this year’s nominees at a high profile red carpet event held at the Kenya National Theatre yesterday.

The Nominees’ Night came after a three-month nominations and vetting exercise that involved the participation of 250 Groove Academy members representing various industry facets countrywide.

“It has been an intensive and extensive exercise but we are grateful for the support and cooperation we’ve received from the academy and groove panel. We are very excited about unveiling the nominees for this edition of the awards, which has seen interesting new entries as well as a new category – Afro Pop – introduced to celebrate a new gospel sound.” said Kevin Mulei, Groove Awards Founder.

He added: “Artists have worked hard to spread the Gospel, and it is fitting that we recognise them as they propel the industry towards further growth locally and abroad.”

Without further ado, here are the nominees:

Janet Mbugua seems to be the only celebrity who has mastered the trick of looking stunning hot like a model and a career lady in media.

Janet Mbugua has unleashed titillating photos in her latest photoshoot where she brought out two sides of hers; Mama Ethan the Citizen TV anchor and a hot model.

Yes Janet is 32 years old but she can transform to a 21 year old lady if she wishes to do so. The recent photos in her blog proved so.

She rocked different clothes as she posed for the camera but the one she wore a tiny short was the most conspicuous.

She looked stunningly hot exposing skin in a skimpy outfit. Check her out in the photos below:

Total Kenya Limited has donated over a million shillings worth of fuel to power the ivory burning scheduled for this Saturday (April 30th) at the Nairobi National Park.

The stock pile of ivory which has been recovered from poachers and illegal consignments intercepted at aerodromes and seaports consist of 25,000 elephant tusks weighing 105 tonnes and 1.35 tonnes of rhino horns.

A mixture of diesel and kerosene will be sprayed under the tusks through pipes and jets to fuel the fire. This together with firewood in between the tusks will achieve very high temperatures from steady heat to reduce the tusks to ash. The system was designed by Robin Hollister, a well-known location manager in the film industry who was also in charge of the event in 1989.

The gift of fuel is the latest example of Total’s continuing support for wildlife and environmental conservation. For more than fifteen years, the company has been a major sponsor of the annual Rhino Charge which has raised money needed to fund the construction and maintenance of an electric fence surrounding the Aberdares, Mt Kenya and Mau Eburu forests. This protects elephants, rhinos, and a variety of wild animals from poachers and helps to curb human-wildlife conflict in those areas. The forests safeguard the sources of streams and rivers which provide water for Nairobi and villages and towns in central Kenya.

In 2003 the Total Eco Challenge campaign was started under the slogan “Miti Ni Mali Miti Tosha”. The aim is to inspire and help all Kenyans to plant trees in every possible place. The target was 100 million trees per year, every year, forever. Today the Eco Challenge has more than 5,000 projects that have seen the planting of hundreds of millions of trees since inception.

The award-winning Afro Pop band Sauti Sol has set the standards when it comes to being a celebrity.

They set the standards on what a celebrity should look like when they hit the gym and got their sexy on, they set the standards on what a celebrity should wear with Bien coughing out a hefty sum of 250,000 Kshs for a pair of luxurious Christian Louboutins.And now they have set the standards in the kind of cars a celebrity should roll in and it’s not a Probox.

Their music director and guitarist Polycarp Otieno drives a Nissan Skyline while the fashionable Austin Chimano drives an Audi.

Today we caught a glimpse of the car that Bien-Aime Baraza drives and its one sweet, sweet ride. Check out his Volkswagen Passat.

 

 

 

She put a cup between her thighs, peed in it then mixed her urine with her boss’ juice before serving her. Remember she did this in the kitchen!!

Better be watchful of your maid! Mistreat her and you will end up being fed with raw sewage mixed in your delicious food.

A viral footage uploaded by Daily Mail shows a househelp in the Middle East peeing in a cup in the kitchen before mixing her urine in her employer’s juice.

The family that employed the maid was suspicious of her for reasons they know best and they decided to install secret cameras in the kitchen.

The camera prevented the boss from quenching her thirst with a cocktail of stinking human urine and fresh fruits.

Nairobi life has become extremely hard not only for us, but also our celebrities too and TV hunks Nick Mutuma and Martin Kimathi are running away from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi life.

The two are now going back to their roots to build up a coffee farm from scratch in Meru County. Both Nick and Martin feel they deserve a break from the entertainment industry which is all a facade as artistes are living a lie and drowning in debt in a bid to keep up with showbiz. 

“I needed to get away from all the hype and try detox. I want to get my priorities in order and figure out what matters and why I do what I do.” says Nick Mutuma.

 

Both Nick and Martin are seen trying their hand at everything in a bid to adapt to the rural life & build up a profitable coffee farm business. However, they are both in for more than they bargained for as the farm is far from any township with poor roads, and no electricity.

“Sometimes you need to step away from it all to see the bigger picture .”says Martin Kimathi.

 

Will cutting themselves off from the world be the thing they need to regain focus on their purpose in life?Find out in their fresh and innovative show titled Ocha coming to the screens soon.

Whoever said history caught in pictures doesn’t fade had a point, old photos of Lucy Kibaki in her prime have surfaced as Kenyans mourn her.

Lucy Kibaki passed on yesterday while receiving specialized treatment at Bupa Cromwell Hospital in London, UK.

Kenyans have been sharing the most memorable moments of the former first lady they haven’t forgotten.

One of the most talked about Lucy Kibaki’s moment is the incident in 2009 where Kibaki was forced to address the nation to make it crystal clear that Lucy Kibaki was his one and ONLY wife.

This was after  media reports claimed that Kibaki had married current Othaya MP, Mary Wambui, under customary law.

Kibaki accompanied by a furious Lucy Kibaki held the press conference to bury claims that he had a second wife.

That aside, check out old photos of Lucy Kibaki in the gallery below:

Female touts are common phenomena in Nairobi Matatus nowadays but a female white kondaa, surely that’s a shocker!

For a long time Matatu industry has been a preserve of ‘rowdy unschooled’ men but the industry is quickly undergoing a radical change.

Ladies have taken up jobs as matatu touts and sometimes though rarely as drivers. Even sizzling hot women have been spotted operating as touts.

A photo of a white female tout collecting fare from commuters has sparked wild excitement on social media.

The whereabouts of the mzungu makanga can’t not be immediately traced but indeed there is a route which has a white tout.

Just the other day it was Victor Wanyama who was banned from English football and now his elder brother has assaulted a referee!

Wanyamas must be too tough for European football; Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama was recently banned from EPL action for six weeks (five-match ban )after being red-carded for the third time in 2015/2016 season.

Victor’s elder brother McDonald Mariga Wanyama has also received a five-match ban from Italian football, Series B.

Mariga who plays for Unione Sportiva Latina Calcio was sent off in the second half while playing against Virtus Entella in the past weekend.

But before he left the pitch, the 29-year-old player went to shake the referee’s right hand and squeezed it so hard that it caused an abrasion which drew blood.

Mariga also insulted the referee after assaulting him. The disciplinary commission responded by slapping him with a five-match ban after launching an inquiry into his uncanny behavior.

Lucy Kibaki’s death ‘hijacked’ headlines making Kenyans forget about Cord’s brawl with Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

Kenyan men have to be the most mafisi in the region and the buzz created by the faux story about Eritrean law requiring one to marry two or more ladies proves this.

However, Kenyan men have a craving for Tanzanian women not just for their beauty and famed politeness but also for their amazing skill of shaking their derriere. Even at advanced ages, the ladies still can shake and gyrate at a skill many Kenyan ladies can only dream off.

Their dancing styles are so seductive in nature and now they have a new dancing craze called Chura dance. It is being popularized through an equally seductive song by the same name and done by Snura Mushi.

The ladies in the video are well endowed and their moves mind boggling. Here is the video

 

 

A number of public figures have died in a span of 5 years and the cause of their deaths still remains a mystery or a well guarded secret.

The public is always interested to know what caused the death of news makers whenever death comes knocking.

But the deaths of some public figures have still remained a mystery years after they passed on. We illuminate 5 trendsetters whose deaths were shrouded in controversies.

1. George Saitoti

Kenya’s longest serving Vice President died in a helicopter crash in Ngong forest while flying to South Nyanza for a fundraiser in June 2012.

While it seems obvious the cause of death was from the accident, KTN’s Mohammed Ali told Kenyans in his investigative that there was foul play in Saitoti’s death.

Moha’s claims were seconded by a medical report; Dr Dorothy Njeru told the Justice Kalpana Rawal commission investigating Saitoti’s accident that the former Internal Security Minister died before the chopper he was in crashed.

Saitoti was to expose names of drug lords in parliament prior to his death, powerful forces in Kenya were linked to his death.

 

2. Otieno Kajwang

He was in perfect condition hours to his death on November 18^th 2014; that’s why ODM demanded quick investigations into the death of Otieno Kajwang once news broke he had passed on.

Kajwang died at Mater Hospital after he was rushed there complaining of chest pains. Government pathologist Dr. Johansen Odour confirmed the late Homa Bay senator died of heart attack though the medical report didn’t convince many.

Conspiracy theorists came up with explanations which I will not go into details for the sake of national cohesion.

 

3. George Thuo

The former Juja MP collapsed and died while drinking with friends at Porkies Pub in Thika on 17^th November 2013.

Medical reports indicated that Thuo died from consuming a highly toxic chemical believed to have been mixed with his drink.

Six suspects including Thuo’s friends were put on trial for the murder of the former Juja legislator. The motive behind his murder has not been established though hearsay has its own funny explanations.

 

4. Fidel Odinga

His death was the most talked about topic in 2015. Fidel was found dead in his house at Windy Ridge, Karen after a night-out with friends.

The cause of his death has not been made public though some suggested it was alcohol poisoning while Boniface Mwangi said Fidel died of drug overdose

5. Lucy Kibaki

The former First Lady passed on today at a London hospital after she was transferred from Nairobi Hospital a few days ago.

Doctors at Nairobi hospital referred journalists to her family for queries when they demanded to know what the former first lady was being treated for.

Her transfer to London hospital and even the cause of her death have remained a well guarded secret that only her families know about.

Rumor had it that Lucy had mental problems and had even been admitted at a mental facility but these claims just remain rumors as they can’t be substantiated.

The activations are giving hopefuls a real opportunity to call, sing and stand a chance to be the next star in Kenya and possibly in Africa.  The activation teams have been accepting entries, allowing Airtel customers to sing in any language of their choice, and in whatever genre they want; callers were allowed to use instruments as they register their songs.

The competition that started two weeks ago will see the winner walking away with Ksh 1.5M at the Kenya finale and thereafter, qualifies to compete in the grand finale where the ultimate prize comprises a mentorship program with multi-award winning American singer-songwriter Keri Hilson in Atlanta.

The winner will not only star in their own music video alongside Keri Hilson; he/she will get an opportunity to record a duet with the “Knock You Down” songstress, as well as receive a signed contract with a major music label and worldwide media exposure through various TRACE’s platforms. 

With Airtel Trace Music Stars, all potential stars need to do is to call   0900 733 733 on their Airtel phones to stand a chance to be discovered, and they can call as many times they want as well.

H_Art The Band guitarist Kenchez is celebrating his birthday today and fellow band members decided to give him a present he definitely will not forget.

Having been stuck to one guitar since he started his career, the band members decided to get him a brand new costly guitar. The new guitar comes at a price sum of 352,700 KES. Besides showing just how tight the group is, it also shows how far they have come in terms of commercial success, going from being bought shoes by Caroline Mutoko to affording such pricey guitars.

Here is Kenchez with his new guitar.   

We normally never postons but this guitar cost us 352,700/- *we cant even believe it

Nick Mutuma and Brenda Wairimu are one of the country’s most talented and popular actors.

Whether on theater or in screens, they have quite a great chemistry and many even expected them to end up as an item. They after all spend quite a lot of time on work together. However, a relationship did not materialize Juliani got the lady. This has not however, stopped the two friends from meeting at joint projects work related or fun activities.

The two recently went for a photo shoot together and here is the amazing video.

 

Things are really getting out of hand and people are making some really hurtful comments on Twitter following the death of Former First lady.

While Kenyans were mourning Lucy Kibaki Robert Alai decided to use this as a teachable moment and posted this:

What these corrupt leaders looting Kenya will discover is that no amount of loot will insulate them from death.

Our mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers are dying daily due to preventable diseases but since greed precede service, the deaths will never end.

From Hospitals in Kiambu, Isiolo, Isebania to Malaba, we can’t get proper medical care because someone must steal. Our hospitals dampens the hopes of patients as our leaders seek treatment in foreign lands.

Even the 7-star Bupa Cromwell Hospital could not stop the death of Lucy Kibaki. Not even with the loot from the regime of her husband. She couldn’t raid the news desk of death announcer to stop death.

I pray that our leaders remember to equip local hospitals because their greed is killing many more.

Below is the picture of the reception at Bupa Cromwell Hospital and KNH. Compare and contrast.

 

 

This post has caused a flurry of reactions with many slamming Alai for the post above that many felt was out-of-pocket and ill-timed. Check out the reactions below:

Qanash Hellen :The regime of her husband…it was a nusu mkati government.I however did not hear you speak of Fidels death like this.You actually asked us to pray for mama Ida as she was devastated.I prayed for her.I did not see you question why Raos money couldn’t buy Death out of Fidel’s way,or how comes the looting of Raos side of coalition never helped the young man out of his death.It is a shame that we cannot sympathize with bereaved families but want to create more pain for them. Perhaps one day, when someone you dearly love dies,you will learn the value of sympathy.

Evan Githui :Well said and your ignorance couldn’t , stop your drunk brother die like a dog . Raila son couldn’t see another day due to ignorance of cord , and their Lord of poverty who is now fighting against the devolved health care that National Government is equipping.Cord Noise couldn’t stop the death of them. Look in the bright side dont always hate there is time for everything.

Irene Jack: I thought the death of your brother sometimes back taught being bad or good, u will still die, respect those who are mourning their loved ones.

John Alvil Ochieng: Only fools will not see anything positive about this post, there is no hate here, compare and contrast the two photos above, our leaders don’t equip our hospitals yet will run to a 7 star to get treatment leaving the common mwananchi in such a state, but we are too blind that even when they loot our funds we still have the energy to defend them, who will defend us if not US, issues like these need to be raised more often.

Lizz W Mugo: I wish death could strike your family so that you know the pain that is usually left in the hearts of friends and relatives. I personally knw how one feels. When Fidel died,I could imagine the pain that rao and his family had after losing their son.Don’t you think the same pain is left in the hearts of Kibaki’s family and mama Lucy’s friends?? Try and tame yourself. You might cause disaster frm God to yourself. Death will never choose which family to strike,it does nt recognise a king nor his servants,rich nor poor….It’s God’s decision on who to leave,and you can’t predict your time too,maybe hata hutapatana na miaka ya Lucy Kibaki….

Josphat Koech K: Why did you wait for this to happen so that you talk of him looting? Why didn’t you do that all that time yet you have been online 24/7 ?Is it mocking him or what? Yes let us talk of looting. Let us expose the looters who are looting our money? But this is not the time to attack someone who has lost his wife. Where is humanity?

But if you want us to talk of looting, then I thought we were having a coalition Government and your god was a Prime minister. What was he doing when one was “looting”?

Was he praying aside and asking God to stop the “looters “?

Arthur Kamau: It will still strike your door step.Don’t celebrate js yet. We all must face the taste of death and not even seven star hospitals will prevent it.Core function of doctors is to prolong life and not to prevent death. Get facts right. #gocelebrate

Michael Kisaka: Let the dead mourn the dead, let the living speak the truth. I espouse your sentiments Robert Alai Onyango. whoever is drunk with power now should know that natural calamity doesn’t discriminate. if you move around slapping people and raiding media houses lawlessly, natural calamity takes the revenge.

When your dad is a former Managing Editor of the Daily Nation, best believe spelling mistakes will not be tolerated.

Macharia Gaitho and his daughter Wanjiru Gaitho left KOT cackling after he publicly corrected her spelling mistake and what ensued was one of the most adorable father-daughter banters we have ever seen.

 

 

Twirrrrra was on fire recently after tyranny of numbers political scientist Mutahi Ngunyi engaged in a war of words with vocal columnist and Professor Makau Mutua.

The altercation seems to have started after Makau sent out this tweet:

 

But Ngunyi was not here for it and decided to take it to ‘petty-town’ and retorted with this:

A jab at the renowned professor who was once wrongfully ‘outed ‘as one of ‘the top gays’ in Kenya.

 

He responded with this tweet asking Mutahi to respond with facts and credentials instead of insults:

 

Miguna Miguna decided to chime into the conversation by tweeting “What’s the meaning of a “pink man” and why is he not a member of that exclusive club of “MEN” Ngunyi talks about?”. A tweet that set out a flurry of responses of whether the professor is gay or not and about Mutahi’s credentials.

True to his word, Mutahi did not respond and Mutua rushed to cry to Ole Kaparo for a ‘gay slur’

 

 

Khaligraph Jones songs have a way of getting the continental audience applauding his skills more than the love he gets in Kenya where he is quite an opinion dividing figure.

Often trolled of never being abroad, the rapper appears to be content to let his music do the travelling for him. He appears to have found fans abroad with his music especially other musicians.

His latest fan is Nay Wa Mitego who has not only gone to share Khaligraph’s latest ‘Mazishi’ hit but also poured his admiration for the artist declaring him the best in the rap game.

Here is what he shared…

Wanajua ni #Mazishi by@khaligraph_jones@khaligraph_jonestoka #Kenya254 Kama kuna Maraper wanachana mmmmh huyu jamaa anavunja dammmmn hii Ngoma ni kali sanaaa

Close to an hour ago, Twitter lit up with news that the former first Lady Lucy Kibaki had passed away while undergoing treatment in Bupa Cromwell Hospital in London.

Here are things we will remember about Mama Lucy:

1. She was the most vocal and prominent one among  the first ladies and often accompanied Kibaki to many of his events. Before her tenure, first ladies were rarely heard of as Moi did not step out with his better half.

2. She will be remembered for her contribution to the health sector which includes the Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital and her fight against the HIV/AIDS scourge .During her tenure; Lucy chaired the Organization of African First Ladies against HIV/AIDS (OAFLA), an organization that acts as a voice and caters for the needs of women, children and vulnerable people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS

3. She will be remembered as the first, Kenyan First Lady to storm into the offices of a daily. This was when she stormed into the Daily Nation  offices where she staged a protest for a whopping 5 hours and accused the Nation of printing lies. A story that captured worldwide headlines with publications like the Guardian, Gulf News and BBC running with the story.

4. Mama Lucy will be remembered for being no-nonsense as during her Daily Nation protest , she was accused of assaulting Clifford Derrick a camera man who she slapped after she caught him filming her during her Daily Nation storm-in.

5. Aside from Derrick, she allegedly once slapped lawyer and politician Gitobu Imanyara at State House and also smacked an MC during a Jamhuri Day’s State House ceremony. The presiding MC earned the slap for referring to Lucy Kibaki as Lucy Wambui instead of Lucy Muthoni.

6. She will also be remembered for keeping it 100% ,if she didn’t like you she would let you know, case in point when she publicly snubbed the State House Comptroller as the President’s family returned to Nairobi after a holiday at the Coast. She gave everyone a warm handshake before snubbing Matere.

7. Away from the controversial incidents Lucy will be remembered for helping the disadvantaged and disabled through various charity works.

8. Her students will remember her for imparting knowledge to them at Kambui girls among other schools and as the patron of the Kenya Girl Guides Association.

9. Her fashion sense will certainly be memorable.Check out this smashing outfit she donned back in her hey days:
