MCK has issued a statement on Mediamax’s sister station Kameme FM over an alleged breach of the Code of Conduct for Media Practice.
The complaint was submitted by Henry Mburu, who alleges that Kameme FM engaged in content exhibiting bias, bordering on ethnic incitement.
When kamau wa kisumu exposed the purported youth empowerment event scam that happened in statehouse where those who were posing as motorbikes beneficiaries were paid 2k each, is when Karen nyamu vowed to send him back to the village. This 3:34 minutes video will explain everything why Karen nyamu sent goons to eat in his kibandaski without paying 30k, yaani walikula stoke yote bila kulipa. By the way ata swale sonko alikuwa kwa hii mbogi ya kulipwa na kupose kama beneficiaries wa nduthi. Hii serikali Kila kitu ni scam na kama si scam ni kipindree.
I was travelling from KNH to town along Kenyatta Avenue when this gentleman boarded the matatu that I was in. He started talking about CBC and it's impact on the learning of our pupils. He claimed to know what ails the system and said that he thought he had the solution.
This tweet is funny until you think about it seriously. Then it becomes one of the most accurate critiques of what Kenya has done to education.
A student spends four years studying journalism. They learn media law, ethics, reporting, research and how to hold power accountable. They graduate with a degree and enter a job market where the most visible media personalities are comedians, socialites and political praise singers who have never sat in a lecture hall. The degree becomes a document you frame and hang on the wall while someone with a ring light and a loud personality gets the job.
But this is not just a media problem. It is the natural outcome of a Kenyan education system that was never truly built to develop thinkers. It was built to produce certificate holders. The colonial architecture of Kenyan education was designed to create clerks and administrators who could serve the system, not question it. That architecture was inherited at independence, polished, expanded and sold to generations of Kenyans as the path to a better life.
So families sacrifice everything for school fees. Children memorise and repeat. Universities produce graduates by the thousands. And at the end of it the market does not ask what you know or what you can do. It asks who you know, what you look like on camera or whether you are willing to say what the owner of the media house wants said.
The comedian without papers is not the problem. The comedian is simply filling a gap that the system created. A media industry that does not value journalism does not need journalists. It needs performers. And Kenya has spent decades building an audience that cannot tell the difference.

Dear Mama, I’m Coming Home
Mama, it’s me. Your girl.
I didn’t make it home from school.
When the fire came, we ran, we tried
I held my sister’s hand. We cried.
The door was not opening that night
Papa, I called your name with all my might
But this time, you weren’t in sight
Just smoke, and heat, and dying light
Mama, I’m coming home.
This time I won’t be shouting your name from the gate.
But I’ll be coming home in a casket, Mama.
Mama, I’m sorry.
Mama, tell my classmates this:
Don’t stop laughing in the dorms at night.
Don’t let my bed stay empty with fright.
Finish the science project I started —
Put my name on it. Say I departed,
But not from you. Keep my jokes alive.
And when KCSE comes, let all of us arrive…
In your hearts. In your pens. In your drive.
Mama, tell my teachers this:
Thank you for calling my name each day.
Thank you for believing I had something to say.
I’m sorry I left before the lesson was done.
But the biggest lesson was love — and you won.
Keep teaching them fierce. Keep teaching them loud.
Tell them I was proud. So proud.
Mama, tell my friends this:
Brenda, keep my hair clips. Wear them when you’re sad.
Njeri, finish my novel — tell me how the story ends.
Faith, you still owe me a soda. I’ll collect in heaven, friend.
Don’t wear black forever. Dance at prom for me.
Live the life I was supposed to see.
Mama, I’m sorry for the fees you paid
For the dreams the fire betrayed
So Mama, fight for other girls
So that fire doesn’t kill them.
Mama, the negligence — tell them to stop the negligence.
Tell them doors should open.
Tell them girls should be safe when they sleep.
Don’t bury me and bury the truth.
Let my name unlock every roof
That traps a daughter when she should be free
Mama, that’s how you bring me home to me.
I love you. I tried.
I’m coming home, Mama.
But leave the gate open for them.
Your daughter.
Forever.
MOUNT KENYA must understand that RIFT VALLEY leads with registered voters in this country.
I always see them counting only Kalenjins' votes to escape that.
FYI, only a combination of (MT.KENYA + RIFT VALLEY) can give you a direct ticket to the PRESIDENCY. And now they're not together.
However, they're lazy and suffering from Maths anxiety and always trying hard to avoid this thinking in their conversations.
Kama kuna kitu imenibebea akili the last few days is the political activities happening at Tenri Schools Embu.
They are currently about to vote in the next school president. The incumbent is Kingsley who is defending the seat which is highly contested by the likes of Nevina, Sally and Allan.
It's boiling nicely
Wewe uko team nani?
One thing people don't know is that those water meters are usually ran by water pressure not the water itself....so the more u open ur taps to release a lot of water the more the pressure n the faster the meter runs hence the units go higher.... that's why u see people complain that they stay in a bedsitter alone but pay water bill of upto 1000 monthly......regulate water entry at the toilets (all got small valves for regulating).... when u open up ur taps just open Small amount to reduce pressure.... personally at my area I use 1unit in two months which I pay at 200per unit
Senator Methu @methumuhia made an interesting post yesterday. He said that at the peak of the impeachment proceedings, he, Rigathi @rigathi and a female Luo Senator (the only one is Beatrice Ogola Oyomo, so this description wasn't cryptic enough) went to see a very powerful opposition figure (si you just say Raila Odinga surely) to help Gachagua. Raila apparently promised that he would see what to do, and called an ODM Senator in house leadership (the description only fits Senators Madzayo, Ledama and Sifuna).
Later, Methu arrived at the Senate thinking that they had a deal, before the said leader reminded him that in this case, the gazelle had run to the leopard for help, and there was only one way the matter would end.
The naivety of this anecdote surprises me. How did Gachagua and his people think that after dehumanising and humiliating Raila throughout their short-lived period in government, he would suddenly wake up and help them stay on in the regime?
How did Methu even believe that the Secretary General of ODM would have any other instructions from his party leader, other than to impeach? Gachagua had alienated such large parts of the nation that even today, if the impeachment is done again, it would pass! This is the reality that pro-Gachagua folks still don't see. That even outside government, he has done nothing to assure non-Kikuyus that he can be more than a tribal lord.
But he has other uses in 2027. If he runs, Ruto wins. If he is running mate, Ruto wins. Which means that Gachagua is now the most potent tool in removing Ruto, by backing a ticket in which he is neither the top man nor the running mate. Besides, 2027 is a youth-driven detribalised vote, so he also can't come with a long list of things Kikuyus must get in the subsequent government formed.
The fact that Gachagua is an important cog in the removal of Ruto is the reason regime operatives lie in wait to run hashtags whenever @edwinsifuna is seen with him. I am happy that the Nairobi Senator ignored this foolishness and went to bury Kanini Kega's man.
Real ODM supporters will remember that day when, after being proposed for Azimio presidential candidate, Raila made the first road trip through Mount Kenya. The tour began at a hotel in Nanyuki and ended in Nairobi. While most Kikuyu leaders were staying away, still unsure, Kanini Kega took the lead, stood on a sunroof and led from the front. By the time they got to Githurai, Kanini had earned the nickname "Super Striker" and was working up the huge crowds excitedly.
And he never wavered. Until the last minute, even when aware he was losing his seat, he trusted Uhuru's word and stood with Raila. The ODM SG is right that he is the custodian of the register of Raila's friends. Kanini Kega was one of them. There was a duty to go and honour his departed mother. The other ODM of cowards couldn't go there, because they now operate only within their villages since they have no capacity for inter-tribal relations (they couldn't even go to the funeral of Onyonka's mother next door).
So if Sifuna goes to visit Baba's friends and Gachagua is there, the regime and its bloggers can shove their opinions about it. We all can't be sold the anti-Kikuyu narrative. We know those who did this in 2007 and we won't buy it again. There is a new world order. Being in the same tent as Gachagua does not mean "selling our people to Gachagua". But if Gachagua helps demolish the kleptocracy that impoverishes the masses, he will find a role in the ultimate movement.
Perhaps the regime and its adherents can take their eyes off Gachagua for a moment and focus on the price of fuel, which is hurting the common man more than Gachagua's itinerary.
Hey 🤍
