    Walter Mong’are aka Nyambane Fired From Foreign Ministry

    Walter Onchonga Mong’are, popularly known as Nyambane, has been stripped of his role as the Director of Programmes, Advocacy, and Outreach in the State Department of Foreign Affairs.

    Mong’are was fired through an internal memo issued on Wednesday April 3, 2024, by Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Singoei stating that he was no longer authorized to conduct any business on behalf of the department.

    The memo was directed to all director generals, heads of missions, and departments within the Ministry of Diaspora and Foreign Affairs.

    “This is to inform you that Walter Onchonga Mongare, Director of Programmes (Advocacy and Outreach), is no longer authorized to act in any capacity on behalf of the State Department or myself,” read part of the memo.

    Singoei further instructed department heads to refrain from engaging in any official business with Mong’are, emphasizing the need for immediate compliance.

    The memo, which was copied to Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs CS Musalia Mudavadi, served as a directive to ensure that Mong’are is no longer involved in any official interactions or engagements within the department.

    Nyambane, originally rising to fame for his comedic talents, particularly his spot-on impersonations of former President Daniel Moi in the hit show Redykyulass, ventured into politics after gaining nationwide recognition.

    In the run-up to the August 2022 General Election, Mong’are declared his candidacy for the presidency under the Umoja Summit Party.

    He was, however, denied the opportunity to contest after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman at the time, Wafula Chebukati, said he didn’t have a university degree.

    He could not produce any documents or transcripts to show which university he had attended.

    Nyambane however insisted he was unproceduraly barred from contesting for the presidency.

    Video Of Nude Mukhisa Kituyi And Girlfriend In Bed Leaked Online

    Presidential hopeful Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi has been trending on all Kenyan social media platforms for a better part of Thursday and this has all to do with a video purportedly of the former UNCTAD boss caught in a compromising situation with his lover.

    In the video that has been shared widely on the socials, a visibly burnt out Mukhisa laying naked is secretly taped by his catch who’s seen enjoying a glass of wine, perhaps a clear indication that they were having drinks before the act.

    While it’s not yet clear whom the lady recording the video is, what’s apparent is the politician has been on the news for being sought after by the DCI following an assault complaint lodged against him by a lady claiming to be his girlfriend.

    Diana Opemi Lutta in an OB report filed at Nyali Police Station alleged the former United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) secretary-general descended on her with kicks and blows after she rejected his sexual advances.

    “Assault report to the station by one Diana Opemi Lutta who has submitted a report today May 22, at around 0200 hours. She has been assaulted by a person known to her within Tamarind Village, namely Mukhisa Kituyi whom she claims to be her boyfriend,” the OB report said.

    The aggrieved woman said the former Cabinet minister pushed her from the bed and kicked her until she fell down. The lady alleged she was injured on the left knee in the process and was advised to seek medical attention by the police as they investigated the case.

    The ex-Kimilili MP is married to a Norwegian Ling Kituyi and have three children Sitati Kituyi, Laila Mayilila and Thor Masalule Kituyi.

    Sitati is the co-founder of AfricanStockPhoto, a stock photography marketplace featuring images from across the continent. The last born Masalule Kituyi recently graduated from the University of Portsmouth with honours in Mechanical Engineering.

    Masalule, now 22, is a biker whose riding skills have wowed many. He begun the sport at a tender age of six.

    Kituyi is one of the politicians who’ve declared their interests for the top seat in Kenya during the 2022 general elections where he’ll be vying for presidency.

    He now joins the controversial list of politicians who’ve had to battle their nude photos being published online.

    West Pokot Governor, John Lonyang’apuo, the Professor of Applied Mathematics came under siege following the leak of his his nude photosleak of his his nude photos that went viral on social media.

    Former Nairobi Governor Sonko also had his share of the battle when his nude photos with Rachel Shebesh were leaked online in 2013.

    Mukhisa who has been putting up his 2022 machinery now has a nightmare for his PR team who’ll have to do the magic to get the talk out of the mouths and until then, there’s a lot to learn from the men exposed and much telling about the kind of women going down the barrel to expose the photos when things don’t go right.
