written by Jacinta Mbithi

Malindi Member of Parliament Aisha Jumwa has angrily attacked the police for extorting extorting money from Malindi youth who can’t afford face masks.

Jumwa in a video posted on her social media accounts exposes the police deployed in Malindi for being the most corrupt.

She claims that instead of the police helping out the residents, they are harassing and exposing them to more danger.

According to her, some residents have been duped into wearing their inner wears as face masks just to avoid being arrested.

This, the lawmaker says. puts the residents at more risk of contracting covid-19.

Some, she says, are using just any pieces of clothes, which have been not recommended by World Health Organization.

“Right now, someone can pick underwear or any piece of cloth and wear it, and they will be deemed to be in compliance with the directive simply because they have their noses and mouth covered.

“These substandard masks that people are wearing is putting Kenyans’ lives at risk. I was of the opinion that the government would be issuing masks that meet the World Health Organization (WHO) standards before issuing these directives.

She further claims that the police service is the weakest link in the fight against covid-19 pandemic.

She says the police think they are helping matters but they are only making things worse for the country.

“What is happening here in Malindi is only bringing strife amongst the residents. If there is an organ that is the weak link in the fight against the pandemic it is the police service.

“They think in their minds that they are helping matters but they are only making things worse for the country,” Jumwa stated.

written by Jacinta Mbithi

Flamboyant city lawyer Donald Kipkorir has defended himself after cyber bullies landed on him on Thursday morning.

The controversial lawyer took to his social media account to complain about the trolling he has been facing on twitter.

According to him, his social media bullies are from one wing of the ruling Jubilee party.

He says he don’t understand why he is being trolled yet he has no any political ambitions, neither does he hold any public office in Kenya.

The lawyer goes ahead to note that he has nothing to do with the current squabbles being faced in jubilee party, arguing that losers should have themselves to blame.

“Am not in Public Office & have no political ambitions .. I don’t understand why digital terrorists from one wing of Jubilee have to troll me all the time.. I have nothing to do with collapse of Jubilee or destruction of dreams of some people .. Losers should blame themselves,” he tweeted.

Kenyans on twitter on Thursday morning woke up to troll the lawyer under the hashtag #SonkoMalong, a tag he was given by economist David Ndii sometime back when they differed on political opinions.

KOT have been trolling him, with some referring to him as a slayqueen lawyer.

Some, while attacking him, doubted whether his wealth is as a result of his legal practice.

Here are screenshots of some of the reactions.

His Thursday morning attack resulted from his comment on one of the local dailies, where he argued that he is never bothered about changes in fuel prices in Kenya, since they don’t affect him.

Public Warned Against Waging Violent Acts on COVID-19 Suspects

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

The public has been warned against waging violent acts on people suspected to be having Covid-19 or those that have travelled from places that have the pandemic.

The warning was sounded by Lamu Governor Fahim Yassin Twaha in light of suspected stigmatisation of Covid-19 cases within the past two months.

He made these remarks earlier today during a press briefing in the county’s Mokowe headquarters over the status update on the county’s preparedness with regards to managing and preventing the spread of Covid-19 within the county.

He revealed that although some two patients had exhibited presumed coronavirus symptoms while being admitted at the Mpeketoni Sub County District Hospital, it was too early to tell whether they were a risk to the community.

“Presumptions have led to rumours of a possible Covid-19 outbreak which is not the case and residents should be careful not to fall under the trap of stigmatising those seeking treatment for similar symptoms, which could just be TB or pneumonia,” Twaha stated.

Flanked by Lamu County Commissioner Macharia Irungu and the Covid-19 Management Committee, the governor further revealed that the samples of the two patients had been taken and dispatched to KEMRI Laboratories with results expected within 24 hours.

“The two patients have already been isolated and contact tracing is already underway to know their travel history,” the governor said.

He advised the public to call the hotline numbers that the county public health had provided to enable trained public health officials handle such suspects instead of people taking the law into their hands.

Twaha also stated that it was very important for people to understand that anyone could get infected and urged residents to adhere to Ministry of Health preventive guidelines.

No Covid-19 case has been reported in Lamu since the outbreak of the global pandemic within the country last month. However, Twaha reiterated that the county government’s health facilities have designated isolation facilities that would help in case of an outbreak in the area.

The governor was optimistic that the measures put in place by the county government were sufficient to tackle the spread of the virus should it arise.

He also commended the Lamu County Assembly for reallocating Sh50 million from their internal budget to aid the county manage the crisis.

The county government has so far set aside Sh10 million as an emergency fund for the county.

“The county is in talks with suppliers to bring in as many ventilators as possible in case of an outbreak, and we will also embark on a massive sanitizer distribution programme to keep the virus at bay.

“We are also organising how relief aid will be distributed to vulnerable families across the county in the wake of reduced revenue streams in more than 60 percent of households within the county,” he added.

He further said that TVETs in Lamu were so far engaged in making as many as 4,000 masks which would be distributed for free across the county as they were now too expensive to buy from any supplier.

These sentiments echoed by CC Irungu who urged well-wishers to coordinate with the Covid-19 county management team to distribute relief items rather than embark on solitary missions.

“We will not entertain individuals distributing relief items outside the designated programme in a bid to win political points. We urge that all relief should be steered towards this committee which will then channel it to the public,” Macharia said.

He also urged members of the public to adhere to the curfew regulations to avoid run-ins with law enforcement agencies whom he said were only keen to ensure the safety of Kenyans within the MOH regulations provided.

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia has send a chilling message to Public Service Vehicle (PSV) operators who will not adhere to the measures that have been set by the government to stop the spread of coronavirus.

On Sunday evening, Health Ministry’s Chief Administrative Secretary Dr Mercy Mwangangi confirmed 16 more coronavirus cases in Kenya, bringing total number of cases to 142.

Out the cases new cases, 15 are Kenyan citizens and a Nigerian national.

“out of this number 11 have a history of travel while 5 are locally transmitted, ” Dr Mwangangi said.

However, CS Macharia who spoke at a press conference held at Afya House says some matatu operators have been defying government’s directive of carrying less passengers.

He said that defiant matatu operators have been carrying passengers in excess, thus defying the social distance rule.

As from Monday April 6, matatus found defying this rules will have to face the music.

According to CS Macharia, those found violating the regulations will have their operating licences revoked.

Coronavirus: New Technologies Only Solution For Businesses Now

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

Mr. Wandere Maina, a trader who supplies equipment such as tents and chairs to major events like rallies is one of the many traders whose business prospects have been largely affected by the spread of the coronavirus.

It took Wandere 10 years to build his company from scratch to employing over 600 employees. It took the flu virus a few days to bring this number down to 50.

After the first case of Covid 19 was discovered in Kenya, the government directed that all public gatherings and rallies be called off in order to contain spread of the flu virus, leaving Wandere with virtually no one and nowhere to supply equipment to.

From employing over 600 employees he now has only about 50 employees left working for him. Much as the massive lay-offs pain him, there is not much he can do about it.

Another trader, Loise Njeri, who has been running a successful hotel business in Nairobi, finds herself in a similar predicament. Speaking to her, Loise does not sound as excited as she would have sounded some two weeks ago, reason being where as she used to open shop early and close late, now she opens late and closes early thus getting lower returns.

After government discouraged dining in hotels, the number of customers she has been receiving in the past one week has significantly gone down. She is grappling with how to meet rent and taxes at the end of the month amidst heavy losses incurred.

Whereas other eatery businesses have the option of shipping goods to customers based on the orders they have received online, she does not have that option and so has to contend with lower sales. Her business is only accessible to people who pass by her premises while going about their business and her regular customers.

The emergence of the corona virus has similarly taken many other businesses by surprise. Only those with systems such as websites and e-commerce platforms that enable them to carry on with business as usual while maintaining slightest contact with the flu virus are still counting profits as they did before.

As Mr. Felix Mbugua, a tech enthusiast and CEO of web design firm Legibra notes, unfortunate as the abrupt emergence of Covid 19 is, it also comes as an eye opener for businesses to integrate new technologies into the functionality of their businesses so that whenever such an eventually crops up again, they will be prepared.

“The spread of the virus is still relatively under control in Kenya, though even as we remain optimistic that the authorities will be able to effectively contain it, it may be too early to assess the full impact that the virus is going to have on our economy and how long it is going to take us to get back on with our normal lives,” said Mr. Mbugua.

With schools on lock down and companies urging people to work from home, new technologies such as internet of things and artificial intelligence could facilitate students to get an education online, business leaders and manufacturers to run and monitor their businesses all day long with very little reliance on human capital, and customers to purchase goods from retailers without even visiting their shops.

“Businesses that do not have an online presence are going to have a big challenge this time because people are going to be buying goods online,” noted Mr. Mbugua.

Indeed, all over the world, new technologies such as artificial intelligence and the internet of things have significantly boosted economic prospects of digitised businesses.

In America for instance, e-commerce giant amazon is reportedly struggling to hire over 100,000 workers for delivery services to meet the growing demand and shift to digital shopping. The retailer will be targeting people who have lost their jobs following closure of companies they used to work in.

According to Felix however, not all hope is lost because after all necessity is the mother of invention. We could come out of this stronger than we anticipated and find better ways to go about our businesses.

He is encouraging more and more business people to sign up for websites in order to boost their online presence and thus be able to carry on with business as usual while we wait for things to get back to normal.

Raila’s Late Night Tweet on Ruto’s Resignation Sparks Reactions

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga’s official twitter handle on Saturday night sent out a tweet that has left many in confusion.

In a rare act from the leader’s formal communications handle, the account in a reply to an engagement post from a local digital publisher, left many struggling to get a clear understanding of his post.

Political commentator Prof. Makau Mutua’s call for the resignation of the Deputy President William Ruto was the subject matter in the post which attracted the response from Mr Odinga.

“It is clear William Ruto is at war with Uhuru Kenyatta. Otherwise how do you accuse your boss of destroying you? It is time to resign. That is what Oginga Odinga did under Mzee Kenyatta,” the professor of law had stated in the post by the local publisher.

In a reply to the post, the former Prime Minister’s account handler at 10:30PM, Saturday March 7, 2020 said, “We are entering a dangerous but decisive phase of this tragedy. The mercenaries have dug in and are daring for a fight. I believe we should determine the time, terms and conditions of engagement.”

It remains unclear whether it was the communications personnel at Mr Odinga’s office that were responsible for the tweet whose screenshots were making rounds on social media in minutes.

Senate Majority leader Kipchumba Murkomen could not comprehend the Odinga tweet. He appeared uncertain of the fact that the tweet appeared to concur with Prof Makau’s views that Ruto had embarked on a fight against his boss.

Murkomen sought city lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi’s help with his response attracting a reaction from former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga.

“Very interesting…the take away words..”dangerous but decisive phase“, “this tragedy“, “mercenaries..daring…fight“, “time, terms, conditions of engagement“…BABA is a General…that is why he uses military jargon that are Napoleonic and Leninist…and STALINIST… ” stated Ahmednasir in response to Murkomen’s plea for help.

The former Chief Justice on the other hand called for caution among Kenyans. He appealed to tweeps not to be easily made to go into war or peace at the will of their leaders, who he describes as ethnicists.

“I have always insisted that its the ethnicists and their barons who decide when Kenya should be in war or peace. Kenyans should deny the barons both options going forward,” wrote Mutua.

The heated debate had emerged from remarks made by the deputy president in Nakuru during the burial of Sgt Kenei, an officer murdered under unclear circumstances in an alleged military equipment acquisition deal.

DP Ruto had accused the director of criminal investigations of using the probe into the death of the officer to undermine his office.

Family in Heated Argument With Senior Government Officials Over Moi’s Burial

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

The late former President Daniel Moi’s family on Thursday engaged in a heated argument with senior government officials charged with making the former Head of State’s funeral arrangements.

This is after the officials proposed to have Moi’s remains interred at a site in Uhuru Gardens, off Lang’ata road, Nairobi, that would later be designated the ‘Heroes Corner’.

The family, led by Moi’s son Raymond, who is the Rongai MP, insisted that though the former President did not make it formal, he had expressed his wish to be buried in Kabarak, next to his wife Lena.

The government had first floated the Heroes Corner proposal on Wednesday with the Moi family expressing instant opposition.

Moi will now be laid to rest at his Kabarak home, Nakuru county, according to his wishes, after the family resisted attempts by the government to have him buried in Nairobi.

Retired Africa Inland Church (AIC) Bishop Silas Yego on Thursday led a team of Kalenjin elders to the meeting at Moi’s Kabarnet Gardens home.

According to the elders, when Lena died, Moi had wanted her to be buried in Sacho, Moi’s rural home in Baringo county, but his friends and elders persuaded him against the move.

In the end Moi caved in and showed them a corner in his expansive Kabarak home and quipped: “This is where I will also rest.”

Mzee Moi will be laid to rest on Wednesday February 12, 2020.

Otile Brown Celebrates The Diversity in Women in New Track ‘The Way You Are’

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

Kenyan star Otile Brown is no doubt a talented and versatile musician. Otile has a way of connecting with his fans, especially the ladies.

The singer has started off his 2020 in style by giving his female fans a gift that I believe they will love and remember for a long time. The ‘Nabayet’ singer has sang his heart out in an attempt to make ladies love themselves for who they are.

His new song, ‘The Way You Are’ is what each and every lady needs out there as it praises diversity.
‘Bad Man Shivo’, as he is known by a number of his fans calls on ladies to love and believe in themselves for who they are.

For sometime now, attention has always been given to the heavily endowed women while the slim ones have time and again been ridiculed.

Otile on the other hand believes that even the slim ladies are great and have something great to offer.

The singer points out that while some people love voluminous women, he loves them small and tender. He also states that while some people go for the light skins, he prefers the chocolate type.

“Kuna wanopenda biggy, mi napenda ndogo. Wenye wanapenda lightskin, mimi napenda choco,” he says.

The ‘Alivyonipenda’ hitmaker goes ahead to caution ladies against going artificial in a bid to enhance their looks and appearance. He calls on ladies not to bleach or use body enhancer creams. Could he be targeting his ex Vera Sidika? Well, be the judge.

“Usijibleach mikorogo,” he states.

This song will definitely be a self esteem booster to the slim and dark ladies as Otile praises all the aspects in them. The singer cheekily states that love making sessions with the slim ladies are always great as one can always juggle between the bed, couch and even the walls.

Just like Tarrus Riley’s ‘Just the Way You Are’, Otile brown believes that God’s work on each and every woman was perfect and as such, no woman should be humiliated or feel bad because of their looks

I give this jam a 9/10 rating as the visuals are also well executed.

The singer captured different types of ladies from the brown skins to the dark skins, big to small. He even used a lady with Vitiligo as well as an albino to make this track relatable to all the ladies in the world.

SHOTS FIRED! Khaligraph Jones Takes On Nigerian Rappers, Sets Out His List Of Requirements!

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

Africa’s Best Rap Act Khaligraph Jones has struck again and this time, like lightning. The OG, as he is well known by his fans has fired heavy shots towards Nigerian rappers led by Blaq Bonez.

It began when Blaq Bonez decided to take the OG head on, following the Soundcity MVP awards in Lagos where the ‘Me Siogopi’ rapper was crowned the Hip Hop act of the year.

Following Khaligraph’s win, Blaq Bones took to Instagram and claimed that the Soundcity MVP organizers got it all wrong by awarding him the best Hip Hop act award. He even promised to drop a diss track the following day. Well, we are still waiting for it but clearly, the OG is not a patient man.

Khaligraph took to the studio to fire some warning shots at Black Bonez and co. According to Khali, he has already been crowned King and as such, the likes of Bonez should wait for the next season. It is also worth noting that Khali was crowned the best at Black Bonez’ very own backyard – Nigeria.

The OG has spit punch line after punch line and we doubt if Black Bonez with survive – or rather if he will have the audacity and energy to respond to the OG.

“Nigeria has to send a Lesbian to slay a beast?” asked Khaligraph who sees Black Bonez as no competition and as such, Nigeria could have done better.

As for winning in Nigeria, Khali has urged Black Bonez to pay his ‘lazy fans’ to vote for him next time. Khali even claims that Black Bonez is not popular in his own hood, urging Black Bonez to retire and settle down and take the diss track positively as it is meant to help boost his ego.

The OG has also taken time to pay homage to the likes of M.I Abaga, Vector, Ice Prince and rapper YCee who he claims has carried the Nigerian rap industry on his back. The other ‘rappers’ to him sound whack and have resorted to doing Afrobeats.

To ram the last nail on Black Bonez’ coffin, the OG claims that he is a done chapter who is just a random comedian.

The OG has also given out a number of conditions for the beef to be settled:

  1. The ‘Leave me Alone’ rapper wants to be a Nigerian Citizen but without a visa.
  2. He wants a mansion on the island and about 10 divas
  3. A bentley and a posh since he is coming for the crown

He finished by stressing that he never wants to see Blaq Bonez again “wearing his cheap suits”. He has however given him the opportunity to speak the truth, if he feels the need to.

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

Tanasha Donna has dropped the first single off her debut EP, ‘Donatella’. The song which features Tanzania’s Mbosso is a Love ballad with a blend of Swahili, French and English.

Mama Naseeb comes in pretty well on this one with her melodious vocals all but spicing up this great love song. She talks about a man who apparently drives her crazy given the type of good loving he gives her. Could this be Diamond Platinumz? Well, Tanasha has never shied away from letting her feelings known out there and as such, we will not be surprised if this song was inspired by her relationship with Simba.

Mbosso too did not disappoint with the Love master delivering on this one. His lyrical game is clearly notable with his symphonious vocals making the song sound even better.

‘La Vie’ is a French word meaning ‘For Life’ and in the song, Tanasha clearly professes her eternal Love to the love of her life.

This is Tanasha’s third single since she ventured into the music industry and it follows her previous releases, Nah Easy and Radio Love featuring Barack Jacuzzi.

Her upcoming EP Donatella will have five songs with collabos expected from the likes of Khaligraph Jones. There are also hints that another collabo featuring a Tanzanian act and a Kenyan group will also be on the album.
