Citizen TV news anchor Lilian Muli has hit back at haters who have been attacking her for spending over 250K on delivering baby Liam.

Muli was admitted at the private wing of Nairobi hospital during her delivery process leaving many to assume she had parted with the said amount.

In a post on Instagram, Muli said she could spend any amount on her children as long as she can afford it.

“I’m only going to give this my attention because it’s becoming BORING. If I could spend 10 million or more that God has given me the ability to afford to spend I would spend it to give my baby the best experience…if you wanted to know how much I spent you should have just walked into Nairobi Hospital and asked how much it costs trust me if you are upset about 250k that’s a GROSS UNDERESTIMATE! It was much more so prepare to get even more upset. And then again I wonder how much of that you contributed to that you should even have an opinion!!!” she wrote

The TV siren then added that as long as it’s her money she will never shy away from spending it.

“I will never under any circumstances shy away from enjoying the blessings that come my way and YES my children are such a big deal to me if I want to shout that they are from the mountaintop or everywhere I can I will. If it hurts your ears pole sana you could just choose to look away or not listen! Don’t hate me coz I’m Blessed pray for the same to come your way! Now let me go back to enjoying my BLESSINGS. Jealousy is the same thing as witchcraft it is evil check yourself! The next time you talk about me just know you are exposing how bitter you are about your life! All the bad things you’ve ever wished me will never come to pass it’s wishful thinking and I suggest you give up. I keep saying Hate has become the veil that frustrated people use to cover up their own insecurities don’t be mad at me I’m not the one who hurt you. That’s the last time I will ever address this nonsense.” She added

Tanzania’s music and arts regulation body, BASATA has offered to mediate the growing feud between Rich Mavoko and his former boss Diamond Platnumz.

Their friction allegedly started after Mavoko managed to break free from his contract with Wasafi records after winning a case against WCB he had submitted before Tanzania’s music and arts regulation body, Baraza la Sanaa Tanzania (BASATA).

Mavoko has been under pressure from his fans to quit the music label after claims that he was too big a name for Wasafi records.

In a twist of events however, Basata says the beef is not as serious as is rumored and they plan to hold talks with the two artistes.

The organization CEO Godfrey Mngereza on Tuesday, August 14 revealed the government body was in the process of holding round table meeting with Diamond and Rich Mavoko’s team to lay all the issues on the table and possibly find a lasting solution to the stalemate.

 “We have spoken to Wasafi and the label have no issue with Rich Mavoko. The organization will table a meeting between the two because there seems to be no real conflict between the two,” he explained.

Initially, Mavoko’s issue with Diamond’s label was the fact that there was immense pressure to release hit after hit leaving artistes with little time to handle personal matters

Singer Rufftone and Wahu have been named among those who will spearhead a new government initiative set to champion Technical and Vocational Training agenda among the youth.

According to Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed the two will be tasked with reaching out to youth, helping them express themselves and revamp different institutions.

“There have been gaps in the preparation of graduates in terms of career expectations, skills needed, attitude and readiness for work. The tertiary institutions, through the Office of Career Services, are expected to play a central role in addressing these issues,” she said.

Receiving the news, Rufftone said the move was good because it would help eradicate joblessness.

“I came to Nairobi and settled in Umoja estate and their was a jobless corner, it literally was a jobless corner because my friends used to meet and hang out here because they had no jobs or any training, this is a good opportunity to train youths and they will be better placed to get jobs or create on,” said Rufftone

Wahu also said she was glad such an initiative has been put in place.

“If I was clearing my secondary education right now then I would definitely go for such an opportunity because I have always been a champion of skill training, my skill is what puts food on my table,” she said.

The Media Council of Kenya has issued a statement warning Citizen TV’s Jeff Koinange after he insisted on asking Francis Atwoli aboud his bedroom prowess.

MCK accused Koinange of exhibiting obscene behaviour on his show JKL on Wednesday, August 15, where he hosted Central Organisation of Trade Union (COTU) Secretary General.

In a statement addressed to Citizen TV’s editorial director on Thursday, August 16, David Omwoyo the CEO of MCK said the council found him culpable of flouting professional ethics by tolerating obscenity.

“The interview kicked of at 9.49pm where Jeff started by asking Francis Atwoli to clear the air about his marriage with TV anchor. Atwoli confidently admits he is married to Mary Kilobi but the host goes ahead to ask questions touching on private aspects like age difference between the two and Atwoli’s performance in bed,” read part of the statement

Jeff had insisted on certain questions that seemed to adress Atwoli’s bedroom matters outside the watershed hours.

“The questions Lakini bado kazi unafanya, (You still perform well), Katiba bado unasoma (you still read the Constitution) and Kazi unaweza (You can manage the job) are repeated severally in the interview. At one point Atwoli dismisses Koinange reminding him it’s important to be cautious about disclosing private issues for the sake of his children and audience,”  the statement adds

 

Atwoli then went on to caution the presenter over the matter.

The media council now wants Citizen Tv to send them measures that will be taken to ensure such does not happen again.

“By this letter MCK wishes to inform you that it reserves the rightto take disciplinary action against the host of the programme and the media in view of the above contravened clauses. In the meantime urgently furnish the council with steps taken to avoid such occurrences in future,”

Jeff Koinange breached the breached clause 13 of the code of conduct for the practice of journalism on protection of privacy.

Reports that the Kyadondo East MP was severely tortured and injured have been trending on social media for the last few days.

Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni has since refuted the allegations via social media post.

“Countrymen, Countrywomen and especially, the Bazukulu.

Greetings. Some days have gone by while what President Trump calls “fake news” generators, especially the Monitor and their TV, the NTV, have been putting it out that our grandson, the indisciplined Bobi Wine, is gravelly ill, he cannot talk etc.

They were putting it out that because of their “rough” handling of the MPs while arresting them, the Security forces could have done grievous damage to Bobi Wine.

I decided to check with Army doctors because, being a disciplined Army, UPDF doctors always take precautions in such situations. Bobi Wine had already been seen by doctors in Arua, Gulu and Kampala. He has no head or chest injuries or bone fractures, they informed me.” Read Museveni’s statement

Here are some of the celebrity reactions.

When you charge me because of my expression?

#FreeArua33

“In our new Africa, There is no room for brutality, we cherish each other. Let us debate disagreements, not crush opponents. In our new Africa, Our young people control our future; they are Africa. Ignore or abuse them at your peril. #FreeBobiWine #FreePeterBiar #NoToViolence” wrote Julie Gichuru

Over the weekend Ugandans living on Busia border held a protest march asking president Museveni to free the young leader. Protesters blocked all roads leading into Uganda among them trucks carrying goods into Uganda.
