Murathe Responds After Murkomen Claimed He Was Drunk During Heated Interview; Another Scandal Hits NYS & ODM MP Rejects BBI as He Discloses This About Uhuru-Raila

Good morning,

It has been an interesting past couple of days on social media, following the revelation of the plight of former Tahidi High actor, Joseph Kinuthia.

Towards the end of last week, it emerged that the once-popular TV star is now living in abject poverty, and is in dire need of financial assistance.

You would expect Kenyans, who are famous for their empathetic nature towards their fellow countrymen, to have jumped right into a fundraiser, but things were a bit different this time around.

While some did feel touched by Omosh’s story, most were of the opinion that celebrities need to get their lives together, asserting that we cannot be raising money for every broke artist.

Who is to blame here? Is it Omosh for not building up enough savings during his glory days, or is it Kenyans for abandoning the Harambee spirit?

Perhaps, the government should take the blame.

It is no secret that entertainers earn peanuts, and are oppressed by government agencies charged with collecting dues on their behalf. To add to that, the rest of us are so buried in debt and burdened by taxes, that lending a helping hand to another person has now become a luxury.

The good news is that 2022 is only months away, and we have the power to make the change we want.

The question is, shall we?
