Sometimes all it takes is one man to make the right decision and save the country. This man Noor Gabow, the Deputy Inspector General of Police is the man who restored law and order at the Bomas of Kenya yesterday, saved lives and forestalled a constitutional crisis. He's a hero!
Dear friends & family,
Thank you for your prayers and the words of encouragement. I can't pick all the calls or respond to all the messages, but I deeply appreciate your prayers and goodwill. Mungu mbele!
Why were media houses so united in pushing for the joint Presidential debate and not in joint tallying centres? Why are they giving different results? The dissemination of results should have been a joint venture too!
I have seen the clip of Hon. Babu Owino engaged in pedagogical mathematics lesson. Oh men, this is damn thrilling. I can't stop watching it. So this guy is such a gifted teacher, and of mathematics at that? Honestly, I give it to him. Well done Sir. On this you've won my respect!
I think the sarcasm in Lupita's response to CS Balala is totally inappropriate. She should have picked her phone and just say "Waziri, I am here. I am ready to serve my country." Being a global icon should come with some loyalty to your country and respect for elders!
Those kids who keep insulting me on social media for condemning their obscene content and immoral activities will one day thank me for raining on their parade. They will grow up and realise how lucky they are that somebody stopped them from sliding further into the abyss!
Eish. . .Sophia Wanuna, you are not interviewing a political candidate. Rigathi Gachagua is the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya. Give him time to explain his points. You can conduct a professional interview without bellicose jingoism!

new release is evidence that we are a free country. He has used his creative licence to prick our conscience. Anyone defamed can seek legal redress, but as

Reuben Kigame is wrong. If he thinks the Ruto administration is overdoing religion, then the previous administration was overdoing the opposite. This country needs God. We had sunk so low and thrown morality to the dogs. We cannot have too much of God, provided we also work hard!
Shocked to see that the people who misled Baba with fake opinion polls and used the media to perpetuate lies that all was well, still have the audacity to talk. Arrogance, self-deception and mistreatment of people is the reason we are here. Kweli sikio la kufa halisikii dawa!
I hear that twitterates are driving
@mulamwah
out of comedy & into depression. Bro pick yourself up and give me a call. I will buy you a new shirt, mentor you and make you an ambassador of clean content. The best way of dealing with cyber bullies is to refuse to give up!
The US visa delay controversy for our 100M sensation Ferdinand Omanyala should be an International Relations matter. A sportsman of Omanyala's calibre should be treated like a diplomat and accorded such honour. He cannot just be stranded in a visa matter like a commoner!
Do these perverted producers have children? How does a sane adult try to normalize rape, prostitution or paedophilia in the name of gengetone hits? The video Soko by Ethic is despicable immorality that should be condemned by all right thinking people
Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi is a globally respected intellectual powerhouse and one of Kenya's best leadership brands. He's an elder, a husband and a father. To drag his private moments - real or perceived, into the public is evidence of how low we have sank as society. SAD!

@sautisol
YouTube is a juvenile reaction. Rudini haraka. We may have differences but we must not be blinded by politics to the point of hate. Let's deal with the issues at hand in a civil manner. Sauti Sol remains one of our greatest bands in Kenya's history.
I have received with profound gratitude my appointment to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK). Happy to rejoin the creative industry, this time not as a regulator, but as a promoter and defender of the rights of musicians.
The perverts who are creating such obscenity like "Nikikupea utawezana" should be ashamed of themselves. Media houses promoting such crap too are a disgrace. Artistes should be creating inspiring content to help combat COVID-19 pandemic, not promoting sexual perversion.
We are pleased to report that the video Soko by Ethic Entertainment has now been taken down from YouTube following the complaint we filed yesterday. The Board will take up the matter with security agencies to ensure that the culprits face law for promoting defilement of girls.
Now I call
@DavidNdii
and
@MigunaMiguna
to order. Twitter has requested me to officiate the match. Foul play will no longer be tolerated. Even fans and the managers of both teams must follow the rules. The match can now start afresh!
The campaign against dirty content is not a job or a personal matter. It's not us vs them. It's a collective effort to shape societal norms and values through art and entertainment. Our future depends on the moral foundation we build today through our conversations and stories
Those saying Governor
@HassanAliJoho
is doing PR shame on you. Why can't all the rest do PR too? If providing leadership and saving lives is PR then we have never needed PR more in our political leadership!
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, early in my Golden Jubilee years. It's God's grace that has brought me safe this far and grace will lead me home. My sincere gratitude to everyone who has made the journey possible. To my parents, family and all dear friends who bring a cheer, asanteni sana!
Those who say money can't buy happiness, show me what poverty can buy. Money is powerful and can buy happiness. Money is not the source of evil; the love of money is!
Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja & sons are the winners of the most creative piece of art in raising awareness on COVID-19. Esther Akoth alias Akothee takes the trophy for the most improved artist in Kenya. Her online messages and content of late are very inspiring. 50k for both!
What Hon. Babu Owino is doing is an inspiration to all of us and especially the youth to know that education is not just for passing exams. It's an asset to navigate life. Babu Owino can actually step in and save the world if there were no teachers. He derserves a global award.
In February 2002 a letter was dropped at my desk at the 3rd fl, Nation Centre. It was a summary dismissal. My 9 years at the NMG had come to an abrupt & painful end. I walked out with nothing but faith. Today I am glad they sacked me. May God be with all those who have been fired
US Media not giving live coverage of Donald Trump arraignment. They are doing this, not for Trump, but for the dignity of their country. Here we cover live riots and macabre killings with wanton abandon and take pride in exposing our shame. See the difference!
Prof. Wajackoyah will cause a re-run. I sat down with a group of young people last night and was shocked to hear the animated conversation on why they love the guy. If the talks are anything to go by, Wajackoyah will get over 1m votes and that will be a game changer!
I have a feeling that Embarambara is a danger to himself and that his fans could be cheering him to self destruction. Is this style sustainable? Is it even sane? Unless he's super human, this guy will hurt himself. Someone please stop him!
A voice deep inside is telling me to venture into the creative economy and practise what I preach - Invest in youths, create clean content, identify and nurture talent & use my experience in Government and private sector to fight piracy and promote consumption of local content!
FIRIRINDA (Free rinda) is the kind of content we want. It's a nice traditional song based in Kenya's culture. The song is approved by KFCB for consumption by people of all ages. It depicts the warmth and joy of welcoming visitors (the African way)!
My attention has been drawn to reports on social media to the effect that I have been fired as CEO of KFCB. PLEASE IGNORE such malicious rumours. I am not aware of such developments and there can be no grain of truth in them as there's no vacancy in the office of the CEO KFCB.
The war is not against artistes or the youth. It's against dirty content. The intention is not to harass artistes or stifle creativity. The idea is to promote clean content and protect children against exposure to adult content!
There's no power in the world that can stand in the way of a man of energy, discipline, hardwork, passion and oratorical abilities. These are the qualities President Ruto brought to bear at the recent Africa Climate Summit. And his team, led by Environment CS Soipan Tuya rose to
There's something about HOPE that turns dreams into reality. The audacity of Hope that Obama spoke about. Indeed, it's an Obama moment for Kenya. Just wait and see!
I finally spoke to

. Watch this space. His setback will be his comeback. Besides my desire to nurture his talent, I'll help him know how to deal with cyber bullies - those mean guys with PhDs (pull him/her down.) Shame them by excellening in ur work. Results vs insults!
If you still have a job or a sure income flowing to your account during this pandemic, tell God thank you. There are people whose lives have been shattered and things may never come back to normal. Let's show empathy and support those whose livelihoods have been affected
Even in the time of war women and children are protected. The officer could have helped Mama cross the road and lead her to safety. Taking pleasure in brandishing that rungu on her is proof that we are a sick society.
Making videos of others while naked, with or without their approval, is a breach of the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222.
"No film or class of film for public exhibition shall be made without a filming license from the Board." Now you know!
No country has ever progressed by hating its leaders. If you don't like them change them, but once you elect someone into office, for heavens sake support them, pray for them and do your part as a citizen to contribute to the development of your country
Eric Omondi is, without a doubt, one of Africa's greatest talents and Kenyan's best. But he needs to respect himself and obey the law. Let him use his talents to promote positive social values. Youths who follow him must not think that good comedy is nudity or vulgarity!
I am watching Citizen TV apologize repeatedly, almost on their knees, for misrepresenting Tanzania's President John Pombe Magufuli. Yet, they always misrepresent our President and say nasty things about him unapologetically. And you still hear people say Kenya is a bad country!
I think besides President Ruto's stellar performance at the Africa Climate Summit, the star of the moment is Environment CS Saipan Tuya. It was a delight to see her calm and professional demeanour throughout the sessions yesterday and today. Everything flowed seamlessly and the
GOOD NEWS: Bishop Margaret Wanjiru is out of ICU. Still hospitalized but doing quite well now. She's able to talk and has called a number of people to express her gratitude. We give God the glory and wish her quick and full recovery
These charlatans without journalistic training behave like radio is only about women, sex, feminism and misogyny. Take these bizarre topics from their shows and see how empty they are. How sad that we have reduced a powerful tool like radio to platforms for degrading women!
It's my birthday and on this special day I reflect on the words in the Serenity Prayer:
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. . . ."!
Senator Sakaja has apologised to the public & admitted that he made a mistake. We all do. It's a mark of greatness for one to admit and take responsibility for their mistakes. Sakaja is a great leader who made a terrible error of judgement, in a moment of indiscretion. Yaishe!!
I have always said that our youths can use social media positively to get opportunities and climb up the ladder of success. This young lady Ivy Chelimo coined the name Rigy G for our DP Rigathi Gachagus. He liked it and today he got her a job in his office!
Never celebrate the downfall of others, not even your enemies. Never mock a man in pain, even if it's a misfortune of their own making. Learn to exercise grace and mercy. That which goes around comes around.
Good morning!
Who is pushing this lockdown crap and why? Salaried people sitting in the comfort of their homes can pontificate to others about lockdown. Those who live from hand to mouth or have relatives and friends who do, a lockdown is a bad idea, unless there's a plan to feed the people!
So why are you not demanding to see the bodies of the 2 patients who have died of Coronavirus? Don't you think that the government is playing PR? Ama kukufa ni sawa shida ni kupona? I just realised that Kenyans have a very big appetite for bad news!!!!
Tetema and Wamlambez songs are strictly forbidden outside of clubs and bars. It's embarrassing to see even national leaders singing and dancing to the obscenity in public. The lyrics are dirty and not suitable for public consumption, especially children.

's gay show was a pathetic attempt to promote homosexuality in the name of user generated content and freedom of expression. No brand worthy it's name should be proud of this madness. It's laziness of mind and lack of imagination to fall for such cheap gimmick!
Dear young artistes,
In another 20 years or so the kind of content you are producing now for likes on social media and for fame will be consumed by your children. That time you will be the age of the people you are calling old today. You will be ashamed of yourself. Itakuaffect!!
Embarambamba on the Trend on NTV, says his theatrics are because of poverty. He's asking for help. Bro come, let's talk. You don't have to do this madness for likes on social media. Come let's find a way out. You sound ok, but ur theatrics are embarrassing & must be moderated!
When the music stops, the euphoria is gone and there's no more mathematical absurdity, you will have to go back to work, open your business, take your kids to school and pay your bills. You will face life with its opaqueness!
