The news of Ngina giving birth was kept hushed until the last minute.
Like her siblings, Ngina lives her life away from social media to the disappointment of many.
A source told Mpasho that the theme of the wedding was red.

As the world celebrated fathers day, some celebrities were left licking their wounds after their baby mamas snubbed them. Some of these celebrities have more than one baby mama but none of them cared to wish them anything. These are DiamondPlatnumz The Tanzanian star has three baby mamas namely Zari Hassan (2kids) Hamisa Mobetto (1 kid) and Tanasha Donna (1 kid). None of these women bothered to celebrate their baby daddy on fathers day. Oga Obinna The celebrated radio host was among celebs whose baby mamas didn’t go all out on social media to celebrate them. The radio host cum singer has three baby mamas. Jamal Roho Safi The flamboyant Somali businessman was ignored by his first wife Amira. It would be understandable given how he has publicly embarrassed her in the past. Amber Ray Amber Ray also ignored her baby daddy on father’s day. Even though she has never introduced him to the public, she did not give a damn about celebrating him. William Ruto Yes, you read that right, Deputy President William Ruto was among politicians who were not publicly celebrated on fathers day. Politicians such as Ngirici, Kate Waruguru, and Idah Odinga celebrated their spouses on fathers Day. We can’t blame her maybe she was busy or she just forgot. Uhuru Kenyatta Like most Kenyan men, President Uhuru Kenyatta was also not wished the a public happy father’s day. The father of three is married to Margaret Kenyatta. He like many others was celebrated by word of mouth or via text.
Nick Mutuma
Celebrated actor Nick Mutuma was also among celebs whose baby mama’s did not publicly celebrate them on father’s day. Nick has a daughter with actress Bridgit Shighadi.
Omosh Kizangila
Tahidi High actor Omosh also learned the hard way that father’s day messages from your baby mama can be like expecting to get milk from an elephant.
So in case you were not wished a happy fathers day just remember you are not alone. And that doesn’t make you a bad human being, or maybe you are.
President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta has contributed 2 million towards the medical fundraiser of Gibson Gathu.
Gibson is best known for his role as a Prosecutor on the show Vioja Mahakamani.
Revealing the details to Nation, Gibson said the transplant will be done in Eldoret in July.
“President Kenyatta who is a good friend did send his donation of Sh2 million. We as a family and the committee thank him for the support,” he said.
Gibson also told the Nation that others rallied around him and they almost hit the targeted amount. “Dialysis is expensive. Your insurance cover gets exhausted and you start spending off your pocket. You know, insurance is limited. Every day you visit, the dialysis is from Sh10,000 and you have to go three times a week,” he said.
Gibson’s kidneys failed in 2020 and he has been attending dialysis twice a week.
The actor had a kidney donor but required sh 6 million for a kidney transplant scheduled for July 2022.
A medical poster doing rounds months ago showed that a fundraiser was to be held on June 2022 at City Hall, Nairobi, from 2:00 p.m.
Well-wishers and fans were asked to send their contributions to Paybill No: 247247 Account No: 777626 Account Name: Gibson Gathu Mbugua.
Speaking to Standard, the actor said he hasn’t been well and was in the hospital for different procedures, where sadly, a Kidney failure diagnosis was made. “I have been undergoing dialysis for a while and doctors recently recommended a kidney transplant. The procedure will take place towards the end of July and I need around Sh6million. There are some drugs I will take for the rest of my life after the transplant and they are quite costly,” he said.
We wish him all the best and may he recover.
In case you have some cash to spare send it to the details above.
In 2022 Uhuru Kenyatta settled the medical bill of legendary actor Leonard Mambo Mbotela.
Mbotela had at the time been undergoing treatment at the Nairobi South Hospital.
He was only released to go home after his medical bill amounting to Sh1.1 million was cleared by the President.
It’s not every day that we see politicians in successful marriages that have lasted for more than 25 to even 40 years but some are breaking that barrier.
Some might wonder what has made them stick together in this murky world but the truth is they love each other. Below is the list.
1. Barrack Obama and Michelle Obama
Former United States Barrack Obama and his wife Michelle are among the couple who have been married for more than 25 years.

’27 years ago, this guy promised me a life full of adventure. I’d say he’s delivered.
Here’s to our next chapter of becoming empty nesters and discovering what’s next—while still feeling the magic that brought us together all those years ago. Happy anniversary, Barack. 💕’ Michelle wrote
Obama also penned
‘Like the Beatles said: It’s getting better all the time. Thanks, babe, for 27 amazing years!’
Jubilee Christian Church founders, pastor Kathy Kiuna and Bishop Allan Kiuna have been married for 25 years. The couple has been blessed with 3 kids, two daughters and a son.
She might not be a politician but her celebrity status proves that marriage works when work is put in.
Recently Kiuna penned a sweet post thanking his wife for sticking by him at the darkest moments of his life.
‘I wish I could explain how much the light in your eyes has shone in my darkest moments, I wish I can tell stories of how your smile has transformed my emotions in my toughest times.
You have taught me that marriage is not about thinking alike, but thinking as one and regardless of the many tunes life has played on us, some high and others very low, you have made a commitment to always dance with me.
You will forever be my always, and I enjoy doing life with you.
Together is my favorite place to be and forever is the how long I want to be with you. The reason I will always love coming home is because You are my home. Thank you .’

Although we are exactly sure how long the Kisumu governor has been married, we are sure that he has been married for more than 30 years.
Nyongo is a father to Zawadi Nyongo, 39 Lupita Nyongo, 36 and Peter Nyongo Junior so you do the maths.
Jacque Maribe made headlines when she interviewed President Uhuru Kenyatta after he won the 2013 general election.
The former Citizen TV senior political reporter in an interview with True Love’s Caroline Mandi, said that the president called her to interview him but all didn’t go well with her bosses.
“I was expecting and thinking immediately after we got from campaigns you get some time off and you’re like I’ve worked too hard who am I working for? let me get a baby,” she said.
Jacque added that she was new in the media industry and her bosses did not support her ambition to cover politics.
“It was my last assignment before I proceeded on my maternity leave when I got a call and I’m told “hi, haven’t been seeing you in a while so I hear good things are coming then come interview before you go”‘. He has my mobile number and it was bittersweet. It was good yes because it was a good working relationship but it was difficult because I have bosses and everybody was like, why her?
“When I went to tell my boss I had been offered the first-ever interview by the president, it was hard. like why you? and I remember being told “its okay, that’s good someone else will do it”. I got angry and I was like why, is it because I’m a woman is it because I’m heavy and so you think I’m not up to the task…why?’ It brought a bit of tension because later I got back to the president and tell him, unfortunately, I’m not the one who’s going to do it and then he said “there’s no interview,” she said. “It was that bad and what that did for me was getting the maiden interview and so heavy at that point and saying that I can’t do it someone else has to do it and in fact it’s a man who has to do it and him saying “no, if you’re not the one doing it then there’s going to be no interview.’
“I finally opened up and got to a realisation that wait there are people who recognises us now as strong abled women in a world full of sharks, a pack of wolves which is called politics…you do it. why does it have to be somebody else and especially a man? Long story cut short, they both went for the interview and little did she know that was going to be her breakthrough.
“I did my part of the interview and my colleague did his and we moved on from there and I kept now doing all the subsequent interviews after that.”
Jacque has since left the mainstream media and is currently running her online political show ‘The Hot Seat’.
Michael Njogo Gitonga alias ‘Uhunye’, a resident of Umoja has left everyone talking after his striking resemblance with President Uhuru photos were shared online.
The father of three says that people mistake him for president Uhuru Kenyatta and often hides his face with a face mask as people always ask for handouts.
He is nicknamed ‘Uhunye’ by his neighbours in Umoja.
Speaking in an interview with Inooro TV, Njogo says he enjoys the fame but it has cost him much.
“Kwanza siwezi enda Githurai. labda nivae mavitu. I cannot walk out of this estate without people asking me for handouts, I have suffered with this name,” he said.
He said that the striking resemblance to that of president Uhuru “confuses” him too.
“It confuses me because I’m confused as to why I look like President Kenyatta, it is very unusual,” said Njogo.
The mason by profession explained that he has never come close to Uhuru or his family.
He says that his mother once worked in Gatundu as a security officer.
“My dad loved me so much, tulikua tunaenda na yeye kila mahali,” he said adding that he is the bread winner in his family.
If he had a moment with the President Njogo says he would ask him if they are brothers.
Njogo also noted that the coronavirus pandemic has affected his source of income as a local bar where he worked suspended operations as the government imposed strict measures to curb the spread of the virus.
Check out the photos;
Michael Njogo Gitonga is from Umoja, Nairobi. His mother was one time a police officer in Gatundu.
Before he was re-elected. President Uhuru stepped out wearing a designer shirt with the theme colour of his party Jubilee. At the time, he was campaigning for re-election.
The head of state wore a white silk shirt which had some embroidery on the shoulder and around the hands.
Carol Pulei, a Kenyan designer was glad to be associated with the making of the shirt.
Pulei said it was such an honour that Uhuru chose to wear it to such an important function.
This is not the only eye-catchy shirt Mr.President has attracted attention with. Below are others that we think made it to the top of the list.
PRESIDENT UHURU
WATCHES
The president doesn’t wear cheap hand wears. He is that guy with a taste of good jewellery and watches are part of it.
I must admit that his various watches are designer materials that are in most cases imported and costs millions of shillings.
During the celebration of the 55th Jamhuri day, His Excellency arrived rocking a red commander-in-chief ceremonial military uniform. This was the first time he ever wore it.
However, he had previously worn the green military combat jungle. Wearing a military uniform is perceived to be a show of power from the commander-in-chief.
Uhuru’s father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, who was the founding President, and retired President Daniel Arap Moi wore the ceremonial gear on national holidays.
However, retired President Mwai Kibaki never wore it.
UB40 can consider themselves blessed after Uhuru Kenyatta attended their concert at the Carnivore grounds.
The President was captured having a great time, singing and dancing along to the celebrated reggae bands tunes.
Who else was also there? ODM party leader Raila Odinga was not to be left behind either as he joined his BBI partner at the concert, with the two of them taking to the stage, where they went on to show off their dance moves, sending the crowd into delirium.
Uhuru and Raila have included elements of reggae in their BBI rallies, with ‘nobody can stop reggae’ (a popular reggae track) being played at all their rallies.
In this Feb. 24, 2013 file photo
Videos of the president letting lose went viral across multiple social media platforms, with several Kenyans welcoming what they termed as a much-needed break from the ongoing BBI rallies that have been a mainstay across all mainstream news channels.
Uhuru has on several occasions opened up on his longtime love for reggae music, once telling Daniel ‘Churchill’ Ndambuki that he loved reggae music, with all the names on his list falling in that genre of music.
“I’m stuck in a certain age, my favorite musicians are UB40, Bob Marley and Gregory Isaacs.” he disclosed.
The dial is crafted from solid silver and graced with gold appliques and hour markers.
The hands are made of rhodiumed gold and blued steel.
The hour and minutes as well as the hour markers at 3,6, 9 and 12 oclock are luminious. The current price of the watch is 298,000$ (ksh 29,800,000).
President Uhuru Kenyatta has quite a taste in timepieces. While just one of Uhuru’s watch costs as much as buying a plot developing it, most Kenyans can only afford to look at the timepieces through internet images.
In the post, he warns people not to bring him flowers when he is dead.
Just incase I die fighting for my rights family kindly burry me not in Muranga ..I don’t belong there and to my dear friends my posts Will remain active .
At Langata cemetery don’t bring flowers instead go back to feed my hungry street families.
Going by one of his past posts it is obvious that Apollo is a man with a caring heart as he is seen sharing a meal with street kids.
In another, he pens an open letter to the President which reads,
Open Letter To My President, His Excellency The President Of The Republic Of Kenya And Commander In Chief Of Kenya Defence Forces.
Your excellency, I write to bring to your attention my present predicaments and also of the mental anguish that I’m going through at this moment.
Apollo Kioria
I joined the service in the year 2006 and seconded to the Rapid Deployment Unit in the year 2008 I was further redeployed to the Late Hon Michuki Residence with the contingent of others officers for security and patrol.
Apollo further adds that at some point his salary was stopped and he is a struggling man.
Having grown up in the area I was marked by some elements sympathetic to the sect.
I was later transferred to the very area that led to simultaneous attacks between the year 2013-2016.
While recapulating my salary was unlawfully stopped but later reinstated and arrears paid with subsequent attachment at Jogoo House Legal Office. Only to be ordered back to Muranga.
Your excellency the compensation that was meant for the injuries was stopped midway and my salary was suspended again 9 month ago, causing immense pain and suffering.
Apollo Kioria
In conclusion, Apollo says,
I’m a registered person living with disabilities and the scooter that I use for mobility was impounded at central police station with no preferred charges to-date.
Kindly note that I have a young family that entirely depends on me.
Lastly your excellency, I have not paid rent to shelter my family. I have not paid school fees either for my little daughter. We are sleeping hungry. We have stopped thinking.
Kenyans on Saturday took to Twitter to demand answers on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s whereabouts.
Uhuru has not been seen in the public eye for two weeks since he departed the country for China to secure various trade deals.
Apart from securing an avocado deal with the Chinese, Uhuru witnessed the signing of two project delivery agreements totalling to Sh67.5 billion through concessional financing and Public Private Partnership (PPP).
Using the hashtag #FindPresidentUhuru, KOT in their typical satirical norm created funny memes while others tried to guess the reasons why the Head of State has been missing in action for a fortnight.
“First, he deleted ALL his social media pages and then left Kenya for China to borrow some mulla & that’s how our President went MISSING! Where is Uhuru Kenyatta?” @SueKE254 wrote.
“Why should we #FindPresidentUhuru We have been ok without him. I hope China are holding him until we repay the loan,” @MbuthiaAmina said.
Political scientist Mutahi Ngunyi wrote, “SILENCE annoys EVEN the DEVIL. Leading Kenyans is like HERDING needy Cats. Uhuru should GIVE them the CONTEMPT CARD.”
“Maybe the President is hidden in some local Pub pale around Juja Boys. The President with those guys there have same characteristics,” @theImwene tweeted.
@ItsMutai tweeted, “President Uhuru Kenyatta is missing since he left China. No one has a clear record of him appearing in public. If you can see this tweet, retweet to help #FindPresidentUhuru. KENYANS should never go 24hrs or beyond not knowing where their president is. Umemwona mahali? Tell us.”
“His brother Raila should confirm to us our president didn’t returned back as counterfeit.I don’t trust these Chinese people, never,” wrote @MoyalePundit.
@opiyok87 wrote, “Missing President!! NAME: Uhuru Kenyatta AGE: 56 years. OCCUPATION: President Of the Republic Of Kenya. -He Speaks Pure Swahili, English, Chinese & Sheng -Last SEEN: 9:59:59 PM Around Hong-Kong And Macau Cities In China Report to the nearest Kenyan!”
President Uhuru Kenyatta is loved by many for his laid back nature but most of all he is loved for his commitment to family.The father of three loves family.
He rarely talks about marriage and when he does only words of wisdom flow out of his mouth.
In one of his posts on social media he poses
Can you imagine if you woke up every day and agreed with everything your wife said, and your wife agreed with everything you said.
Speaking about marriage in a past event where he was attending the wedding of Governor Kiraitu Murungi’s daughter, Uhuru urged young people to intermarry in order to help Kenya become more cohesive.
We celebrate the coming together of our people. This generation is doing tremendous things because they do not see barriers between them.
They see the person they went to school with, and the person they work with. That is who they respect.
President Uhuru Kenyatta’s social media accounts have all been temporarily deactivated, according to Nzioka Waitawho, the Chief Of Staff in the office of The President.
Taking to twitter Nzioka stated that the move was temporary.
On account of unauthorized access to the official social media handles of H.E the President of the Republic of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta.
All official social media handles for the President have been temporarily suspended to allow for the necessary remedial measures to be undertaken.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is the most followed Kenyan with a following of 3.41 million followers.
Below are some of the reactions from Kenyans after the announcement.
@kimaru14 Deactivate and delete the whole government, wacha tujigovern from youtube kama @JuliusYegoKE

@lynda_marcia Replying to @NziokaWaitYou don’t suspend unauthorized access to public funds lakini mnasuspend account twitter,,,see your priorities
The news of Joseph Waswa impersonating Uhuru Kenyatta and conning a businessman of Ksh 80 million has left many wondering how daring he can be.
The man, who is not new to controversy, has set minds jogging with many wondering how much guts one needs to execute such a mission.
He is loved for his philanthropy and going by a past post below it is easy to understand why he does what he does so effortlessly
“Greater things are achieved when u set u set ur mind, wake up and go after ur goals. No matter how much u fall, stand up, bcoz I don’t think going with ur riches to the grave will not do you any gud.”
Here are more motivational quotes from him to his fans which we feel would actually be of help to him as he goes through this rough patch.
“Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism. It is the belief that problems can be solved, differences resolved.
It is a type of confidence, And it is fragile. It can be blackened by fear and superstition.”
Have a great day all.
Another says
“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”
