Leave a Comment / PEOPLE /

Renowned  Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi has been released from police custody after spending the night in jail following his Sunday morning arrest. Human Rights Activist Hussein Khalid confirmed the activist’s release with a touching video of Mwangi reuniting with his wife and children.  Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua was also present at the reunion. The activist had been taken to Kamukunji Police Station. “I can confirm firmly that Boniface Mwangi has been freed with no charges. Wife, children and friends were there during his release,” Boniface had been arrested on Sunday for making remarks about plans to infiltrate the Standard Chartered Marathon which were construed as inciting. It had been reported that the police were considering whether to charge him in court or release him without charge, and according to recent reports, he has been released without any charges. Mwangi’s wife Njeri Mwangi confirmed that he had been abducted on Sunday by unknown people who had barged into his home at around 7.15 AM and taken off with him without any arrest warrant or explanation on where they were taking him. “This morning at around 7.15, six uninformed people went to courage base and forcefully took my husband from the house. I have no idea who, why or where they have taken him.’’ An abduction that came after his Saturday post that was urging Kenyans to occupy the StanChart Marathon and protest against the Kenya Kwanza administration is said to have been what led to his abrupt arrest. “Will you show up to cheer friends at the Standard Chartered marathon? You are a crucial part of the race; your cheering will motivate and energise the athletes and help reform our country in the process.’’

Leave a Comment / POLITICS /

Impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has recently sent a message to President William Ruto warning him that the Mt Kenya region, where he comes from, will not forget how the impeachment against him was plotted. Speaking during a church service at Saint James ACK Cathedral in Kiambu County, Gachagua  noted that he was sure that the people of the Mt Kenya region will not forget all that happened.  “We forgive but we don’t forget. I’ve heard people saying that 3 years is a lot of time that by 2027, people will have forgotten. Even the atrocities meted on us by the white man, the pain we suffered under President Moi, we still remember. When the time is right, we will address the issue at hand. But at the moment, we will keep quiet.” Rigathi Gachagua appeared much calmer despite the three weeks of intense battles with the National Assembly, the Senate, and now at the High Court.  He further asked Kenyans to pray for the Head of State who he stated has a tough task on his hands. “I want to ask Kenyans to pray for President Ruto to give him wisdom to navigate the challenges affecting Kenyans.’’ The ousted DP also went ahead to name a number of key sectors in the country which Kenyans have been critical of in the last few weeks as he called on the President to correct them. “Our people are feeling helpless because of economic adversities, over-taxation, failing health systems and the President has a big job to do. We pray for God to give him wisdom so the people of Kenya can get some relief when they go about their business.” He was accompanied by a number of his allies during the church service, including his staunch supporter Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang’wa.

Leave a Comment / ENTERTAINMENT /

Multi-award winning artist  Ayra Starr discloses that she would never date a fellow musician even in her dreams, despite being a globally acclaimed artist herself. Ayra Starr who is currently 22-year-old made these claims during a recent interview she had with American singer-songwriter and actress Coco Jones for Rolling Stones after Coco sought to find out if the Nigerian star would date someone in the industry.  “Even in the dream world, it wouldn’t be somebody that is in the industry. Probably just like a billionaire. On a yacht. In Dubai. In a thong.”  Talking about her dating life,the artist celebrated the fact that she was single before hitting the limelight, a decision she credits to have helped raise her standards and give her a clear goal of what she wants.  “I’m so happy I was not really dating before I started music,” the 22-year-old artist candidly said. She went on to add, “I didn’t really know what I was missing, so now that I have waited this long to date people I have very high standards and if it is going to be hard to meet it [my standards] then it is going to be bye bye.”  She further noted that  with all things considered she still wasn’t in a space for dating as she barely had free time given her career choice.  “But also, I don’t even have time for myself talk less of a boy.’’ In a previous interview with Dazed Magazine, the Nigerian artist shared she was a lover girl deep in her heart, who had a deep longing to fall in love and experience the type of relationship she has always envisioned.  “I want to fall in love. I wrote ‘Lagos Love Story’ about what love would look like if I was… I’m just very strong-headed about it. I actually have never been in love…I’ve been in certain situations not situationships!—but I’ve never been in a fully committed relationship.”

Leave a Comment / POLITICS /

National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has recently weighed in on  the DP situation in Kenya further referring to Kithure Kindiki as the new second-in-command. Speaking during the funeral of Tharaka MP Gitonga Murugara’s mother, Ichung’wah told Tharaka Nithi residents that he is confident their former senator will be sworn in soon. “I am confident that even those who serve us in the country within the Judiciary will do what is right for Kenya. I am confident in due course we shall be swearing in our Deputy president, the desire of the people of Kenya to be able to move on together as one united country. A deputy president who will serve all the people of Kenya not just the people of Tharaka Nithi or the mountain region.” He further disclosed that he had spent the night at Kindiki’s home just two Sundays before where they had had discussions and prayed heavily for Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse, who was the motion-mover in the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua. “And because we are children of God, when we prayed God heard us. I want to assure you, people of Tharaka Nithi, we are in a good place because those of us who voted in Parliament, I want to tell you soon enough, time will vindicate us, that we did what we had to do for our love for a united nation.” Speaking about impeached DP Rigathi Gachagua, Ichung’wah slighted  Rigathi Gachagua over his utterances perceived to be too pro-Mt Kenya and assured Kenyans that the region was intact and Kenya was ready to move on once Kindiki is sworn in. The funeral was attended by several MPs, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse who also had a lot to say on matters related to the deputy president.
