Anita Thumbi, the woman who sired a baby boy with fallen Kibra MP Ken Okoth, was one of the key online strategists who helped President Uhuru Kenyatta clinch power in 2017. From her facebook page, Anita was among the key individuals that mobilized other women to join ‘Warembo na Uhuru.’
The Warembo na Uhuru Group, which hit a total of 1.5 million members, was strategically used by Jubilee to convince women to vote for Uhuru and Anita Thumbi played a very significant role in it.
Apart from mobilizing women to vote for Uhuru, Anita has been spotted in a number of occasions with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Kenyans are now demanding to know what Uhuru is also hiding regarding Anita Thumbi.

Anita’s secret affair with the late Ken Okoth was revealed by Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko during the memorial service. Sonko condemned the alleged exclusion of the nominated MCA and her three-year-old son from the funeral arrangements.
Governor @MikeSonko pronouncement as “the truth” claiming that the only reason Anne Thumbi was nominated as MCA by “him” (as a person)” as a favour to late Ken Okoth could cost her job. Art. 1, 10, 27(4), 75 & 232 would land both MCA & Sonko in trouble @EACCKenya #RIPHonKenOkoth pic.twitter.com/CMbP3NaQby

“Ken had a son with one of the nominated Nairobi MCAs by the name Ann Thumbi alias Anita.The two love birds did not hide the fact that they shared a son. Ken recognised and was there for his son as demonstrated by pictures and various documented correspondences,” said Sonko.
“Unfortunately today, Anita was stopped at the Lee funeral home as she took their son to pay last respect to his father.Who does that?”
This has also sparked mixed reactions among most people.
From being a nurse at sonko rescue team to a nominated MCA earning 5 figures monthly and now she needs half of Ken okoths estate as well.
