Musician Charles Njagua Kanyi, popularly known as Jaguar, has resigned as a board member at the National Authority for Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada).

The musician cites chronic corruption at the board as the reason for his resignation.

This is barely two months after he was handed the job by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Jaguar was the surprise inclusion in the 302 officials named to the 79 state corporations.

The musician is set to hold a press briefing on Monday to explain the circumstances that have led to his resignation.

The anti-drugs agency has been marred by wrangles apitting Chairman John Mututho and a section of the board over alleged fraud involving Sh99 millions.

Waititu: I am uncivilised but effective

Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu has defended his decision to raid bars in Kabete Constituency terming his actions as ‘uncivilised but necessary’.

Speaking to Willis Raburu during the Power Breakfast show on Citizen TV Monday morning, Mr Waititu lamented that illicit brews have rendered youths in Kabete and the larger Mount Kenya region useless.

He claimed that the residents begun the initiative to rid the area of illicit brew which he supported.

“Residents spotted the pick-up vehicle that was bringing the alcohol and threatened to torch it but I advised them against it, that’s when we resolved to raid the bars,” he said.

The legislator intimated that a majority of Kabete residents, including the clergy and women, were in support of his actions.

Asked whether he had tried using legal means before, Waititu admitted that he had tried but the move proved fruitless because the bars were legally licensed hence the owners could not be arrested.

“We did that out of desperation because the government could not solve our problem,” he said, adding that in the absence of a solution they would use any means necessary.

The MP stated that since his election, his constituency had lost ten youths to illicit brew, adding that when the life of a youth is lost to make a profit it is a ‘sin before God and man’.

He accused bar owners of greed saying their only concern is making a profit even at the expense of human life.

He said that the people selling the illicit brew are Kenyans from the Kikuyu community and they cannot sell it to other communities.

He promised to continue raiding bars because that’s what his electorate wants, saying “People can say anything but it’s the electorate who matter and I will stand by my people to fulfill the promise of dealing with illicit brew”.

Waititu on Friday led Kabete residents in raiding bars in the area, which he accused of ruining the lives of young people.

The move, however, received mixed reactions from members of the public with some praising it while others criticised it as the youths looted the bars and drunk the alcohol.

A member of the bar owners association also threatened to sue the politician for the wanton destruction of private property.

On his political ambitions, the Kabete MP confirmed his desire to vie for the Kiambu governor seat.

He expressed optimism in unseating the incumbent Governor William Kabogo, saying that it was the people’s decision to make and he believes they would choose him.

“I know he is going home,” he quipped.

An underdog outmaneuvered continental heavyweights to bag the prestigious BET Award; Best International Act: Africa

Last night, international artists and fans gathered the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California to witness musicians getting feted.

To Kenyans, other categories weren’t of much interest like Best International Act: Africa. It’s in that category that our boys Sauti Sol was nominated.

They were pitted against; AKA (South Africa), Sarkodie (Ghana), Fally Ipupa (DRC), The Soil (South Africa), Yemi Alade (Nigeria) and… Stonebwoy (Ghana).

(In whisper)The last one I mentioned was the one who won in that category! Does anyone know him or better has anyone hard about him?

                                              Stonebwoy

Did a quick search on him and I found out he is a Ghanaian afropop, dancehall and reggae artiste who has won an a prestigious award before; Artist of the Year (2015) Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

I thought his songs on YouTube would have massive views but it turned out Stonebwoy has average views.
