Nyaboke who lost her daughter at the end of July 2024 and shortly after, her father-in-law has opened up on how the weight of her loss has affected her daily life. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she revealed that she has spent most of her days confined to her bedroom, with the curtains drawn, and has been relying on alcohol to numb the pain and get minimal sleep.   “I have been doing nothing but just sleep in my bedroom day and night, curtains not drawn, and drink myself silly to just get a few hours of sleep every day.” She continued to express her gratitude for a close friend who had taken it upon herself to intervene and encourage her to prioritise her mental and physical well-being. “I have few concerned friends and one said she will pluck me out of bed to deal with me. She said she wants to take care of my physical and mental health as best as she can to help me out.” With her friend’s support, Nyaboke has embarked on a new chapter aimed at regaining her health. According to her, physical activity has been a key focus of this journey, as it is well known for its positive effects on both physical and mental health.

MP Sudi Questions CS Justin Muturi After The Abductions Expose

Leave a Comment / hot, POLITICS /

Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has hit out at Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi after an expose that unearthed the government official behind abductions in the country. In a recent statement, Sudi lashed out at CS Muturi, accusing him of clinging to political relevance and questioning the timing of his decision to expose the facts surrounding enforced disappearances in Kenya. “This desperate move, made now that your political career has waned, is a clear blackmail attempt. The timing is highly suspicious, revealing a cowardly man clutching at straws for political expediency,” he noted. MP Sudi moreover questioned the motive behind the abduction of Muturi’s son at the height of the June-August Gen Z-led protests claiming that they were ‘agemates’. “In regards to your son’s woes, who is my age mate, kwani alishikwa bure??” Sudi quipped. Sudi’s statement comes after the CS claimed that the National Intelligence Service (NIS), under the leadership of Director General Noordin Haji, was behind the abductions of Kenyans. Muturi  laid these facts bare while recording a statement at the Kilimani Police Station on Tuesday, January 14. The CS had earlier hit out at the government over his son’s abduction stating that minimum effort was made in regards to the discovery of his son’s whereabouts. In his explosive 3-page statement, Muturi revealed that it took a personal meeting with President William Ruto to finally ascertain the whereabouts of his son, Leslie Muturi.  This followed a strenuous operation led by Muturi, which included reaching out to former Inspector General Japhet Koome, former Interior CS Kithure Kindiki, Interior PS Raymond Omollo, and Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) director Kiprotich Mohamed, all of which proved futile. According to the CS, he openly speculated to Ruto that the NIS was holding his son, though the President was initially apprehensive. Muturi disclosed that Ruto confronted Noordin Haji on whether the NIS was involved in Leslie’s abduction.

Leave a Comment / PEOPLE /

Information Cabinet Secretary nominee William Kabogo, on January 14, pledged to engage more actively with Gen Z to address the recent trend of circulating images of leaders in coffins on social media. During his vetting at the National Assembly Mini Chambers, Kabogo was asked about the measures he would implement to address the misuse of social media by the younger generation.  In his response, he emphasized that engaging the youth on the ethical use of the internet would help reverse the current situation. “We should be thinking about engaging the younger generations, the Gen Zs, the millennials to have ethical use of the internet space. Today they will be Gen Zs but in a couple of years, they will be parents.The engagement should be such that if you put Kabogo in a coffin as is the case now, at one time they will be fathers like me. How will they feel if their father is put in a coffin? Genuine engagement is needed with the parties involved in doing these things,” Kabogo noted. According to him, there is a need for stronger enforcement and a thorough review of the legislation to better tackle the problem. “The laws are there. For example, we have the Computer Misuse and Cyber Crimes Act. But we need to improve the enforcement of that law as well as its regular review,” he stated. The nominee further noted that it was essential to balance the freedom of expression with regulation to ensure that the rights of other Kenyans would not be infringed upon. “We should also be cognizant of the fact that there is freedom of expression in Kenya. We have to strike a balance such that the freedom of one does not infringe upon the freedom of another,” Kabogo noted.

Leave a Comment / PEOPLE /

Agriculture Cabinet Secretary nominee Mutahi Kagwe has revealed that should he take over the Agriculture slot, he will impose a ban on the importation of some GMO products. Appearing before the Committee on Appointments at the National Assembly Mini Chamber Kagwe noted that priority would be given to GMOs developed by Kenyan scientists. He went on to maintain that he would not preside over a system where Kenyans are used as guinea pigs by other foreign nations. ”GMOs that we have created for ourselves using our own scientists are those that we should be considering on a first-line basis,” Kagwe stated. According to Kagwe, Kenya will only allow companies to bring in the GMOs after subjecting them to substantial medical and historical related checks to ensure the well-being of Kenyans. ”The maize that we are growing today is not the maize that we originally got from Mexico centuries ago. It is a different one.It is critical for us to ensure that we are not used by people for testing of their GMO products. If you have a GMO product that you have designed yourself, use it in your own country,” he added. The former CS moreover disclosed that he was in possession of credible information about foreign companies attempting to sell counterfeit and banned products to Kenya. Kagwe was the first to appear before the committee with former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo and former Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui scheduled to follow.

Phil continued to disclose that he sought advice from men who had experienced divorce years earlier but found many of them still harbouring bitterness toward their ex-partners.  “You talk to someone who divorced five years ago, and the guy is still bitter.

I’m going to look at myself. What did I do wrong? I will never focus on her but myself. Divorce has also taken me to that point of looking inwardly. Where did I fall short? Why did I miss this?” he reflected.  The former couple ended their 10-year relationship in 2023 and have since maintained a peaceful co-parenting arrangement for their daughter.

MP Kitany also called for Muturi’s resignation, faulting him for speaking out against a government of which he is a part. “CS Justin Muturi should resign. He cannot critique a government of which he is a part; it simply isn’t possible. If he does not resign, I will sponsor a censure motion against him in parliament,” Kitany stated. Kitany went on to criticize Muturi for addressing the issue of abductions through the media, claiming that ordinary wananchi were not in a position to assist him. “Public Service CS Justin Muturi is a member of the Cabinet, where he can address any concerns he has. When he chooses to bring up the issue of abductions through the media, what does he expect ordinary Kenyans to do?” Kitany quipped. Her statement comes after Muturi recently lashed out at the government demanding closure, noting that he was appalled by his son’s abduction in June at the height of the anti-government protests.

CJ Koome Responds to Havi’s Call for Her Resignation

Leave a Comment / PEOPLE /

Chief Justice Martha Koome has finally responded to a section of Kenyans, led by former Law Society of Kenya President Nelson Havi, calling for her resignation. Koome dismissed the calls for her resignation, stating that she had yet to receive any valid reason compelling her to step down. According to CJ Koome, she would only step down once her tenure in office comes to an end. “You asked whether I would resign; I will also ask you, why would I resign? I have a tenure; I was appointed to serve for a tenure, and you have not given me the reason why you would want me to resign,” said Koome. She moreover noted that she had yet to receive the petition filed by Havi, which called for the resignation of all seven Supreme Court judges. CJ Koome vowed to continue addressing corruption within the judiciary, adding that she would not be deterred by negative criticism. “Unfortunately, we have not received the petition. It is probably being processed. We were there on the seventh, and we did not see it. We need to tell Kenyans that you cannot pay for government services, you cannot pay for justice, and you cannot pay for judicial services because we are paid by the taxpayers’ money,” she noted. Her comments came after Havi filed a petition with the Judicial Service Commission calling for the dismissal of all seven Supreme Court judges on grounds of gross misconduct and misbehaviour. Havi’s petition criticised Koome for what it described as a lack of leadership and proper direction in her role at the helm of the judiciary, further contrasting her with former Chief Justice Evans Gicheru.

Bishop Anthony Muheria questions politicians who settle political scores at funeral ceremonies

Leave a Comment / POLITICS /

Nyeri Catholic Archbishop Anthony Muheria has recently sent a stern warning to all the politicians who are in the habit of settling political scores at funeral ceremonies. The Bishop called out President Ruto’s allies for their increasing notoriety of bringing politics into funerals. According to the bishop, the ruling elite lacks the  fundamental respect for sacred activities like burial ceremonies and asked the leaders to look deep within themselves for decency. “Even in funerals, it seems that we are not even given respect to our parents and ancestors. We’ve lost all kinds of decorum and respect. Must we dance on the coffins of our loved ones to be popular?” he posed, criticizing the political class. Bishop Muheria went on to weigh on the issue of abductions which has rocked the country in recent weeks urging for tolerance among those in power. “It’s enough. We can’t be commenting about abductions. It doesn’t matter who is guilty of whatever crime we say. That person has a soul. That person has a right. His life is worth more than those few remarks he makes,” he stated. Ruto’s political allies in turn responded to the cleric’s scathing criticism terming the utterances as an interference in state affairs cautioning him to focus on his core business, which is spiritual nourishment. “Don’t come and lecture us as if you are god. All of us are human, so let us respect each other,” Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi countered. Muheria was reacting to the recent heated exchange of words witnessed at the burial of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula’s mother in Western Kenya where the majority leader in the National Assembly, Kimani Ichung’wah, and Transzoia Governor George Natembeya exchanged words.
