After business partner and close friend Phillip Karanja amicably broke his marriage to Kate Actress, award-winning screenwriter Abel Mutua offered his opinion.

On September 20, 2023, Mutua decided to copy Kate and Phillip by implying that he would stop being friends with Mr. Karanja.

Abel joked in his reply that he doesn't want to be associated with a BMW owner because he recently upgraded to a Range Rover. He had a Mercedes Benz in the past.

The sarcastic statement read;

"JOINT STATEMENT

Mkuru & Director Phil.

Nairobi 20β„’ September 2023

β€˜We have come to the conclusion that going our separate ways is best for both of us. This is due to our vehicular differences.

Associating with a BMW owner has taken a toll on me and we wish that you please respect our decision. Signed

Mkuru and Phil."

At the same time, Njugush who is also a close associate of Phil and Kate opted to copy the format of the joint statement but replace it with his own words.
