Josephine Kinuche, a former nanny to Diana Marua and her family, has finally revealed that she is no longer working for the Bahatis after serving them diligently for four years. According to Josephine, her decision was motivated by her desire to pursue personal interests and she maintained that her relationship with the Bahati family remains positive. “I’ve been working with the Bahatis since 2020. I left in good faith, and we are still in touch. I just felt it was time for a change of environment. I have learned a lot from them, and I’m grateful for the opportunities I had.” Josephine moreover praised the Bahatis, especially Diana Marua, for their kindness and mentorship during her time with them. She described Diana as a generous employer who went out of her way to ensure her staff had all the resources they needed to perform their duties effectively. “Diana is the best teacher and mentor. She would buy everything you need for work and even hire cooks to teach us new skills, paying them from her own pocket. I am a professional cleaner, though I never went to college. The Bahatis were the best employers I’ve ever worked with.” She also credited Diana Marua for helping her grow her social media fanbase, a platform she now intends to focus on. After leaving the Bahatis’ home, Josephine has ventured into content creation full-time and in addition to creating content, she works as a part-time teacher, homeschooling young children and helping them build a strong foundation in reading, writing, and other essential skills. “I am passionate about teaching lower primary kids. I teach reading, writing, and other foundational skills. I also want to help learners get a strong start in their education journey.” She further encouraged fans to support her by subscribing to her YouTube channel, where she plans to share engaging and educational content. Josephine’s departure marks the third instance this year of Diana Marua’s employees leaving to pursue content creation.

Leave a Comment / PEOPLE / Joyce

The Kenya Veterinary Association has raised concerns over the ongoing National Livestock Vaccination Campaign. KVA has urged the government to address public trust issues, resource gaps, and stakeholder engagement to ensure its success. One of the major concerns includes Credibility crisis and according to KVA, Public scepticism towards government-led programmes is high. “This administration’s actions have eroded any sense of public trust… jeopardising critical issues reliant on public participation.” The lack of awareness and misinformation among farmers and stakeholders has fuelled resistance is another concern raised. Ending concerns are Devolution challenges and Politicisation of the campaign which KVA condemned efforts to politicise the exercise, warning this could alienate livestock keepers. The association suggests postponing the initiative to allow for adequate public sensitisation, Risk-based approach where Vaccination should target endemic diseases in specific regions rather than blanket strategies. KVA also recommended Public education campaigns to debunk misinformation and outline the benefits of vaccination and also Increasing the number of veterinary personnel. Additionally the association suggested Resource allocation where KVA notes that Increasing the number of veterinary personnel and adequately funding county veterinary departments is critical. KVA moreover urged the government to work closely with veterinary professionals, farmers, and local leaders to ensure the campaign’s success.

He went on to note that men go through different seasons in life, and financial challenges are not permanent. Moreover urged women to remain supportive and respectful of their partners during these tough phases. “There’s no problem with a boyfriend being kept by his girlfriend. Ladies, if your man is not financially stable and you are, support him and respect him until he gets on his feet. Give him your money to manage as the head of the house. Don’t embarrass him in public.” Terence disclosed that when he and Milly were dating, she shouldered almost 100 percent of their financial responsibilities. He was not embarrassed to admit this, crediting Milly’s support for his current success. “For over four years, my then-girlfriend, now wife of 11 years, Milly Chebby, used to pay 98.9% of all our bills.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by TERENCE CREATIVE 😂😂😂 (@terencecreative) The comedian advised women not to air their grievances about their partners online, saying such public confrontations could humiliate the men and strain the relationship.

Government approves extension of the government-to-government Fuel Deal

Leave a Comment / PEOPLE / Joyce

The government has recently approved the extension of the government-to-government petroleum sourcing arrangement with Saudi Arabia. The approval came following a Cabinet resolution after a meeting held on December 17 at State House Nairobi chaired by President Ruto. ”The Cabinet has approved the extension of the Government-to-Government (G-to-G) arrangement for the import of refined petroleum products.” Cabinet noted that extending the deal was necessary because it has helped ease the pressure on the Kenyan Shilling. The Cabinet moreover revealed that the government-to-government deal has helped stabilise fuel prices in Kenya. ”This arrangement has eased the monthly demand for US dollars for petroleum imports, stabilising the shilling-dollar exchange rate at Ksh129 from a high of Ksh166 and reducing pump prices from Ksh217 per litre of petrol to Ksh177.” This means that Kenya will continue to access the supply of refined petroleum by allowing payments in Kenya Shillings, previously estimated at $500 million a month. The Cabinet however did not give a clear timeline for when the deal extension will expire.

Leave a Comment / PEOPLE / Joyce

Ugandan artist Jose Chameleon is currently battling acute pancreatitis caused by prolonged alcohol consumption according to his son Abba Marcus. The artist was rushed to hospital on 12 December after experiencing a sudden illness, leaving fans and family concerned about his health. In a TikTok video, his first born son Marcus revealed that the singer’s condition is linked to years of alcohol addiction. He explained that this has not only caused the acute pancreatitis but also contributed to his father’s noticeable weight loss. Marcus further noted the toll alcohol addiction has taken on his father and their family. He went on to express frustration with the public backlash directed at his mother, insisting that Daniella Atim should not be blamed for Chameleon’s struggles. “My father struggles with alcohol addiction and has been for q while now. Hence the weight loss that people have been talking about… It completely disheartens me when I see the internet bashing my mother making her the cause of everything. Am here to tell you that is completely false. My mother has nothing to do with it.” Marcus moreover criticised his paternal grandparents and other family members, blaming them for failing to take responsibility for the issues affecting Chameleone and his late uncles. “The complete and utter irresponsibility of my father’s parents is part of the problem,” he stated. He also expressed disappointment in the lack of support from Chameleone’s siblings and parents, despite his father’s significant role in elevating the family’s reputation. “Never in my life have I ever seen unconcerned parents that are so careless about their children’s well being. In this case am talking about my father’s parents. So far I have already lost two uncles because of of compete irresponsibility I have ever seen from parents. Honestly i don’t even want to be called their grandchild because I don’t’ want any association with them. Nobody would know who the Mayanjas were if it wasn’t for my father.” According to him, some of his father’s friends appear more interested in the financial benefits he offers than in his well-being. Marcus disclosed that the doctors treating Chameleon have issued a stark warning, cautioning that he may have only two years to live if he continues his current drinking habits. He stressed the urgency of his father seeking help and appealed to the family and fans to unite in supporting him.
