In February 2021, a Kenyan man, Alex Ngata, noticed his late father’s phone lost network signal. He immediately suspected foul play and went to a Safaricom shop to renew the line. The moment the new SIM card was activated in his phone, a flood of backlogged text messages poured in.

The messages revealed a terrifying reality. Notifications showed continuous, heavy transactions draining his late father's bank accounts. Alerts confirmed that mobile banking apps had just been newly installed and configured on an unknown device.

Right after replacing the SIM card at Safaricom, Alex visited NCBA Bank, Equity Bank, and Co-operative Bank, where he officially confirmed that Sh2.8 million had been siphoned from his late father's bank accounts via mobile banking applications (the NCBA App, Eazzy Banking, and MCo-op Cash).

The banks confirmed that the stolen cash had been transferred directly to a specific mobile number: 0716 546633. Armed with the bank statements, the transaction logs, and the destination phone number, he reported the heist to the DCI.

Once the report was filed, the DCI's Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) alongside the Operations Branch took over the case.

The very first move detectives made was pulling the logs for 0716 546633, the Safaricom line that received the stolen Sh2.8 million. Detectives ran a registration check on the recipient phone number, and discovered a chilling anomaly: the number belonged to a dead person.

Specifically, the line was registered to Rev. Peter Kania, the former Secretary-General of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA), who had passed away several months earlier.

To the detectives, this was a bizarre and unprecedented situation. The mechanics of how a deceased father's line could drop signal and how a dead clergyman could actively transact baffled investigators.

CRIB detectives immediately ran a forensic analysis on the SIM card’s historical tower data, tracking where the phone line was physically "pinging" cell towers when it accessed the banking apps. This mapping data proved the SIM card was active long after Rev. Kania had been buried.

To understand how the fraudsters knew the exact account balances of Alex's late father, detectives turned their eyes toward the financial institutions. Cyber-auditors reviewed the digital footprints left behind on the banks' internal servers. Every time an employee views a customer’s private profile, the system logs their unique credentials.

The audit flagged that Equity Bank teller Eutycus Mutembei had zero operational reason to access these specific accounts. His credentials were caught red-handed browsing through the financial portfolios of recently deceased, wealthy individuals.

As the tech teams unraveled the digital trail, a massive "can of worms" was exposed, revealing a highly organized SIM-swap syndicate that operated with chilling precision inside Kenya.

Detectives discovered that the syndicate did not guess targets at random. They systematically monitored newspaper death announcements and obituaries to identify wealthy individuals who had recently passed away, knowing their bank accounts remained liquid while grieving families were preoccupied.

Shockingly, the fraudsters had even attended Alex's father's burial arrangements. Posing as well-wishers and friends, members of the syndicate actively helped the family raise funds and sold portraits of the deceased to mourners. This proximity allowed them to comfortably phish for family dynamics, look at death certificates, and figure out who would be handling the estate.

Once a target was selected, the operation relied on an active, illegal data breach within financial institutions. Armed with account details provided by their insider, Eutycus Mutembei, the syndicate would execute the fraudulent SIM swap to intercept the bank OTP codes and drain the funds.

FACT-CHECKING PASTOR DORCAS:

Rigathi clearly stated that it is the good Pastor who wrote his speech, and deficiencies of facts agrees with Gachagua.

So let’s factcheck Mtumishi:

1. BASE TITANIUM:

❌ The Claim: Politically driven closure or policy failure.

✅ The Truth: Pure geology. Titanium ore reserves in Kwale (South Dune & Bumamani) were 100% depleted by late 2024 after 11+ years of active extraction. You can’t mine what isn't in the ground!

2. NAKUMATT SUPERMARKETS:

❌ The Claim: Recent economic policies collapsed the retail giant.

✅ The Truth: Mismanagement & debt.

Downfall started back in 2017. Nakumatt accumulated over KSh 38 Billion in debt through hyper-aggressive overexpansion, empty shelves, severe supplier defaults, and massive shock losses- 2009 Downtown fire and 2013 Westgate attack.

Officially liquidated in Jan 2020, 3 years before Ruto administration.

3. HILTON HOTEL(Nairobi CBD):

❌ The Claim: Hilton completely pulled out of Kenya due to bad business environment.

✅ The Truth: CBD dynamics have been gradually shifting for decades and the winding up wasn’t if but when. The iconic 1969 tower closed Dec 31, 2022, because corporate/diplomatic clients moved to Westlands & Upper Hill. Renovation costs were astronomical.

Hilton didn't leave Kenya—they expanded elsewhere (Hilton Garden Inn, DoubleTree).

4. DE LA RUE:

❌ The Claim: Arbitrary shutdown.

✅ The Truth: Global restructuring.

Suspended operations in Jan 2023 after losing a KSh 1.1 Billion High Court tax case to KRA relating to royalties paid to Parent company between 2013-2017, combined with parent company global cost-cutting across their printing footprint.

5. JUMIA FOOD:

❌ The Claim: Jumia exited Kenya.

✅ The Truth: Vertical exit across all of Africa. Delivery of low-ticket meals lost money continuously against specialized app competitors.
Jumia shut down its food app across 7 African nations on Dec 31, 2023, to focus 100% on its core e-commerce marketplace and JumiaPay.

6. TWIGA INDUSTRIES.

❌ The Claim: Closed down / dead.

✅ The Truth: Twiga Chemicals remains very alive, active, and fully operational across.

7. CMC MOTORS.

CMC Motors had been struggling for roughly 14 to 15 years before officially announcing a complete exit and wind-down of operations in East Africa in January 2025. 

The company's prolonged decline did not happen overnight; it was driven by a sequence of corporate infighting, strategic blunders, loss of major vehicle franchises, shifts in consumer buying habits, and macroeconomic pressures. 

All the vehicle brands previously under CMC are fully in the market under different franchises.

Facts over noise!

Wamunyoro is saying the chopper was fueled with adulterated fuel at Eldoret.

After that it flew without any issues upto Endebbes where it landed and waited for some time for Ngong.

After Ngong Boarded it then took off without any issues still with the adulterated fuel.

It flew very well up to Nandi when the Helicopter realized that the fuel was altered.

It made an emergency landing attracting locals.

Those in chopper came out and interacted with locals asked them how long it takes for the mist to disappear.

Meanwhile the Helicopter had started realizing that the fuel was adulterated.

When the locals told them it might take up to the next day someone made a call that they should proceed amid the thick mist.

Unfortunately the adulterated fuel caused the propeller of the chopper to struck is it wirelines or a tree branch leading to the tragic crash.

Thank you very much Wamunyoro for telling us the truth.

May Ngong RIP

[The Oligarch @NytoP2PMwangi]

Kenyan tycoon who killed his girlfriend for wanting kids.

Jonathan Mukundi was a known spare parts dealer in Nairobi. He had been nicknamed Bazuu because of the huge body he had and the money he possessed.

After clearing secondary school in 1999 with unimpressive grades, his parents bought him a matatu to do business because masomo ilikuwa imekataa. Jamaa akajituma kweli kweli, plying the busy Kiambu–Nairobi route.

While in that business, Jonathan found love and was blessed with two children. Sadly, after a marital quarrel, his wife took the children and relocated to Belgium. Although heartbroken, that did not stop him from working hard. He became even more successful.

In 2005, Jonathan started buying damaged vehicles after and accident. He would salvage spare parts from these vehicles and resell them in the market. This business became extremely profitable, eventually turning him into a millionaire.

He opened a big spare parts shop in Mlolongo, a business that brought him great wealth. With his success, he built a maisonette in Kiambu and for his personal security, he acquired a gun.

With no family around, Jonathan would go out to parties with friends, but deep down he needed companionship because his wife had relocated. During one of those sherehe, he met a young and beautiful Philomena Njeri, who had just cleared high school and joined Multimedia University. They met at a club in Thika.

Na ju Njeri alikuwa mali safi na amebeba mafrumbanyaa, Jonathan fell deeply for her. They started dating, and Njeri did not mind the age difference because she was enjoying the good life that came with being with a wealthy man sherehe, vacations, pesa na gifts. These were the kind of fine things only people with real money like Jonathan could provide.

Jonathan went ahead and gave Njeri authority to manage his lucrative Mlolongo business. Indeed, Njeri had brought happiness and peace into the divorced man's life. Since Jonathan was happy and content, he made sure she lacked nothing.

There were lunch dates in Nairobi, vacations in Mombasa, and a lifestyle many people dream of. Njeri was living a good life.

For the next ten years, they lived happily together. But things changed when Njeri started wanting children.

That became the biggest disagreement in their relationship. Jonathan did not want to have more children and allegedly told Njeri that he was impotent. Enyewe you can't have everything.

Jonathan did not want children at all. Instead, he bought dogs for Njeri to keep her company whenever she felt lonely. But that was not what she wanted. She wanted to experience the joy of becoming a parent.

Njeri was also an only child to her mother, meaning having children was important to her because it would ensure the continuation of her family name. But to Jonathan, children were not a priority. He wanted to enjoy life with his partner without having more kids, especially after his first marriage had left him emotionally hurt.

Sadly, Njeri could not accept that decision. She was determined to continue her family lineage. Day by day, she became frustrated because Jonathan completely refused.

She could not understand why a man who had money, power and everything financially would refuse to have children with her. After all, he already had children from his first marriage. Bibi alimuacha, mbona asitake kupata Watoto wengine? She struggled to understand his reasons.

Njeri had gotten almost everything she wanted from Jonathan, but the one thing she desired most children was something he denied her.

Eventually, Njeri left their home and told Jonathan it was over. She said, "I have money but I don't have happiness. Mimi nataka Watoto."

She rented a house of her own to show Jonathan that she was serious. If he wanted her back, he had to be ready for that conversation.

This decision pushed Jonathan to his breaking point because he could not understand why a woman he had given everything to would leave him.

Kenya is sitting on one of Africa’s greatest tourism opportunities, yet we’re still telling yesterday’s story.

These screenshots are months apart. I’ve consistently tried to get the attention of CS Rebecca Miano and the Magical Kenya team.

Not because I’m looking for a job.
Not because I’m chasing a tender.

Simply because I care about this country and believe we can do far better.

Tanzania is using global football icons to capture the world’s attention.

AFCON is coming to East Africa.

Kenya has invested billions in facilities like Talanta Stadium.

Yet we still market tourism as though it’s only about wildlife and beaches.

It isn’t.

Tourism today is about moments, culture, sport, music, food, creators and experiences that people want to be part of and share.

We have everything the world is looking for.

We just need to start telling our story differently.

This isn’t criticism.

It’s an open invitation to think bigger.

Because this isn’t about me.

It’s about Kenya.

We’re still marketing destinations, while the rest of the world is marketing experiences. That’s the difference.
