Classic, Maina fights claims of Baraza’s Condoms & Vibrator

Radio king Maina Kageni took time to clear the air on his Monday show over claims that he made shockings allegations regarding the sex life of former Deputy Chief Justice Nancy Baraza.

Ms Baraza, in an extensive interview with NTV‘s Larry Madowo, had claimed that Maina Kageni had destroyed her career by claiming that she went to buy “condoms and a vibrator” at the Village Market mall on the day that saw her tussle with a security guard Rebecca Kerubo.

The incident with the security guard touched off public uproar that eventually forced Ms Baraza to resign after a tribunal, constituted on the recommendation of the Judicial Service Commission, ruled that she had brought disrepute to the judiciary.

The seven-member tribunal recommended that then President Mwai Kibaki fires her but Ms Baraza went to the Supreme Court to appeal against the decision. She would later resign before her case could be heard in full.

In her interview with Larry Madowo four years after the incident, Ms Baraza claimed that public debate regarding the incident had been shaped by Maina Kageni’s allegations that she had gone to “buy condoms and a vibrator”.

“Here I am, I went to buy medicine for my son. What did the media say? My discourse was shaped by a man called Maina Kageni. I hear people listen to something called Maina Kageni, I listen to BBC,” Ms Baraza said in the interview.

“Now people were telling me much later that the converastion was that Nancy Baraza had gone to that pharmacy to buy condoms and a vibrator. It was on Maina Kageni. And of course people were enjoying and laughing. By the way that shaped the discourse on me. That Maina Kageni thing, it shaped the discourse,” the former Deputy Chief Justice said.

On Monday, Maina Kageni denied making such allegations on his show and reached out on Ms Baraza for a meeting to clear the air.

” Madam former Deputy Chief Justice, I don’t know who you are talking to but I never said such a thing on my show. I am ready to clear my diary and have a coffee with you, and the person who told you that I said such a thing, in order to clear the air,” Maina Kageni said on Monday.

MP Manje, Governor Nkedianye face off,MCA chased in Rongai

The recent visit by Kajiado County Governor David Nkedianye in Kajiado North Sub County last week turned to a political showdown.

 The governor and Kajiado North MP Joseph Manje have not been in good terms, the disagreement started last year when Manje allegedly claimed that Kitengela chaos was caused by “senior politicians”.

Nkedianye took a swipe at the MP who he said has been spreading rumors about his (governor) leadership; he said the politician had allegedly blamed him for the chaos.

The governor said he garnered a lot of votes from Kitengela people and his government always ensures Kitengela people benefit equally like other residents in other regions.

The MP had claimed the governor had blocked construction of the major roads through a court petition, the governor rubbished the claims saying he supports development and the court had given a ruling on the petition, he had signed a document to allow filling of potholes in Ngong Isinya Road.

MP Manje

Manje claimed the governor’s visit has raised political temperatures in Kajiado North, he said the county government should do development in the area before politicking claiming Kajiado North aspirants have been using the governor’s meetings to utter abusive words against him.

A former councilor had claimed the MP is “sleeping on the job” and had called on the locals to buy him “blankets for him” the statement did not go well with the MP who accused the politician of undermining him.‘The politician is a school dropout,” Manje said.

Nkedianye also accused Olkeri MCA Onesmus Ngogoyo of undermining him; he said the MCA has been criticizing his leadership since he (governor) was elected on ODM ticket.Ngogoyo had claimed that is doing his work of “keeping the governor on toes” Their bitter exchange was publicly displayed when the governor refused a handshake from the MCA in public.

Some MCAs  found it hot in their territory, Nkaimuruny MCA was allegedly chased by angry residents of Gataka Centre, they claimed the MCA has never visited the centre.

In his three days tour to inspect projects in the five wards,Rongai,Nkaimurunya,Ngong,Olkeri and Oloolua wards the governor was accompanied by politicians who have started a campaign to take over MP and MCAs seats in 2017 ,the politicians Persimei Gitau, Maina Muthiga, Christopher Leiyan  and several ward aspirants among them Brian Sekento ( Rudisha),Samuel Maina, Councilor Sangi were given a chance to declare their political bid.
