Kobi Kihara, of all people in the world, should be the last person to judge another. She was caught red handed portraying herself as someone she wasn't and as a result got called out so savagely she took a break from social media.
The lady has resurfaced but this time with a different mission. And the mission isn't being legit on the life she is living. No, she has resurfaced to report impersonators. She has been reporting social media users she feels aren't using their actual names, and/or are catfishes.
Knowing that she would be called out by her followers, Kobi disabled the comments feature on the post, therefore effectively gagging those who might have had divergent opinions.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, 3rd October 2018, Governor Okoth Obado developed severe pain while at the Industrial Area Remand and Allocation Prison where he is being held for suspected involvement in the murder of Sharon Otieno. He was then rushed to The Kenyatta Hospital. This is what we know so far.
News reports have indicated that the governor has received the same treatment at the prison as other inmates.
On Monday, 1 October, official communication from Isaya Osugo, the Commissioner General of Kenya Prisons, confirmed that Governor Obado was in their custody and that he had been given official prison uniform as other inmates awaiting trial. Furthermore, the communication clarified that he was not getting any favouritism.
On the morning of Wednesday, 3rd October 2018, Hon Okoth Obado complained of stomach pains while in custody.
At around 10.30am , the Governor complained of severe stomach pains and was rushed to the Kenyatta Hospital (Private Wing) for further specialized care.
Reports reaching us confirm that after emergency treatment, prison authorities were ordered to return Governor Obado to the prison but his doctor intervened and he was put in the General Ward, which is a surgical ward.
There was a disagreement between the governor's close friends and the police who wanted him back in custody.
As at the time of going to press, the Governor was still at the Kenyatta Hospital.
This news comes a day after his personal assistant, Michael Oyamo, was attended to at Kenyatta Hospital over similar complaints.
People say money changes people but it is prison that really does change people. Jacque Maribe is a far cry from the premium celebrity we all knew.
Her Instagram page is the epitome of a successful lady. And her appearance on Citizen has never disappointed, confidence and makeup done only by the best in the industry.
Many people can't help but notice how significantly her body image has changed. She looks worried and tired and it is written all over her face.
This is reminiscent of all the journalists who have come before her as far as finding self on the wrong side of the law.
Check out the photos and judge for yourself.
Citizen journalist Jeff Koinange is a self proclaimed lover of Cuban cigars and has been spotted on several occasions puffing his lungs away without any public focus being put him.
This was the case until he posted a picture of him and Huddah smoking cigars together. The kind of negative feedback he received.
Many people feel that Jeff Koinange, a 50 year old man should act his age and stop associating with glorified commercial sex workers for clout.
Twitter is slowly becoming a gossip yard for very idle individuals. Apart from being celebrities and media personalities, these icons are also people. Let Jeff Koinange and Huddah thrive.

Its a shame to see such an old man smiling this much because of just a cigar and a lightskined bag of STD’s next to him. Where did we go wrong as a country? His agemates are busy paying off chineese debts and here you are Jeff koinange, shame on you! #TheBigStory#KCBLionsDenpic.twitter.com/ZcueqUInRN
Television journalist will not be charged with aiding and abetting the crime of murder after all. This is after she recanted her earlier statement that she was drunk when driving Joe Irungu to hospital and could not recall anything.
Credible sources within the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions say that Jacque Maribe is expected to become a state witness against Joe Irungu who is facing the charge of robbing and murdering businesswoman Monica Kimani inside her apartment in Kilimani estate.
With Jacque Maribe's accurate account of events, things are looking pretty bad for Joe Irungu who has not had any friend or family member come out to defend him in public.
Joe Irungu's defense was anchored on the narrative that he was with Jacque Maribe at a club the very time the murder of Monica was being committed. He was banking on Jacque Maribe as an alibi. With this option out of the table, Joe Irungu's goose has been cooked.
It was predictable that Jacque Maribe was warming up to the state when she recently appeared in court for her bail hearing. Her lead lawyer, Katwa Kigen was very friendly with the prosecution and did not look disappointed when the judge ordered that Maribe be detained for a further eleven days.
Jacque Maribe has written a new statement. She will now become a state witness and will testify against Jowie Irungu.
Citizen TV celebrity anchor Jacque Maribe may not be charged but might become a prosecution witness against her fiance, Joseph Irungu, alias Jowie.
This is because she has recanted her earlier statement to police explaining how Irungu was shot. pic.twitter.com/ZFixAul4ys

She is expected to make stops in Kenya, Malawi and Egypt. The first lady decided to make her maiden trip to Africa without her husband who has in the past lacked any kind words to say about the continent. He has recently tweeted about the mistreatment of Whites in South Africa. MOST POPULAR Gov. Okoth Obado In Hospital. What We Know So Far The Shocking Change In Jacque Maribe's Face After Stay In Prison
Nominated city MCA Mary Njambi who caused a stir after she, and other MCAs, invaded Beatrice Elachi's office to evict her has made a shocking revelation that she has no idea what her role as an MCA is.
Mary Njambi, famously known as Krimino or Mafirifir, told Gidi Gidi and Jacob Ghost Mulee that she was called on the eve of the swearing in of MCAs and informed that she had been nominated as a member of the County Assembly of Nairobi City County.
When she asked the caller what her job would be as an MCA, the caller told her that she would learn on the job and needed not to worry about it.
Mary Njambi also reiterated the fact that she is a born again Christian despite the fact that she has been clearly drunk all the three times she has appeared in public. She told the radio presenters that it was necessary for her to announce to everybody the fact that she was saved.
When asked about her family, Mary said she has two children. On the issue of having a husband or not, she insisted that she was married to Jesus. Her face appeared serious when she was saying that.
She left the radio presenters in stitches when she told them it was sad that the fuel levy bill had not been brought to the assembly because they would have reduced it to 4% because their work as MCAs is to defend citizens.

Businessman and politician Don Bosco Gichana has returned back to Kenya after a five year detention in a Tanzanian jail.
Mr Don Bosco Gichana was arrested in Tanzania after allegations of money laundering befell him and four other people including his lawyer Median Mwale in 2013. He was arrested when he stepped foot in the country to see his lawyer who had been arrested for money laundering.
An Arusha court recently sentenced the opulent businessman to five years in prison, a jail term he had already served since 2013.
He was further ordered to pay close to 14 million Kenya shillings, a sum that was deposited to the Tanzania Revenue Collection Account by his family members. The fine secured his freedom.
The businessman is famously remember for gifting former Prime Minister Raila Odinga with a Hummer SUV that stirred the nation.
When he talked to the Daily Updates, he expressed his joy after being released and talked of plans to tour his home county, Kisii. He had earlier expressed his disappointments with the judicial system of our neighboring country.

The chairman of Kenya Film Classification Board Ezekiel Mutua is now humiliating the country on an international level after his shameful actions were featured in one of United States' biggest shows, The Daily Show.
Comedian Trevor Noah told the audience of how Kenya banned a film because it showed homosexual scenes. While Trevor Noah portrayed the country as having collectively banned the film, it was in fact the work of one man, Dr Ezekiel Mutua.
Mutua's ban resulted in the film not being considered for the Oscars because the ban was still in place and not even a court order saved it.

Jacqueline "Jacque" Wanjiru Maribe. Glam, intellect and the high table. She is, with no doubt, a darling on our screens. Her persona exudes confidence and exuberance that we associate with the top class. She had one more thing: connections. The photos are enough evidence that she has brushed shoulders with the mighty in this country and beyond. We can only speculate and sincerely hope our fears do not come to pass. Is it the end of an era?
OPULENCE
The TV industry demands glamour. These are celebrities that we associate with "eating life with a big spoon". Jacque Maribe has worked hard and her industrious nature has opened doors for her. Rising to a senior anchor at Citizen TV Kenya, she is on the cusp of making it, wait, she has made it.
Her niche is politics, and this is where you get to meet the owners of this country. Following the politics leads you to money and money is opulence. We can argue that she is on a handsome package at the media station, add travel allowances to that and you have comfortable living.
PIZZAZZ
Let's start from the top, shall we? According to the dictionary, pizzazz is "an attractive combination of vitality and glamour".
Pizzazz is, also, "the quality of being exciting or attractive". Jacque has all those and as is often the case, TV anchoring requires the looks. It might be an unwritten rule but it is not an exception.
Jacque Maribe was in the state of Washington, United States to cover President Uhuru Kenyatta's visit in August. She has interviewed the president several times and is also linked to Statehouse official, Dennis Itumbi. What other connections would one need?
When news broke that businesswoman, Monica "Monix" Kimani had been found dead, Jacque anchored the news piece on Citizen TV. It would then puzzle Kenyans when her fiancé was arrested in connection with the murder.
Hours later, it was reported that detectives and her lawyer could not get through to her on phone. Reports said that her friends were shocked by the connection and seemingly went quiet on the matter.
She appeared at the Kilimani police station in the company of her father, and was later transferred to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations HQ in Kiambu.
When Jacque was arrested by the police for a contradicting statement, and burnt clothes found behind her house, it became clear that this was about to get ugly.
From the police cells to a day in court, and more days in custody, we are left with one question; will it get better?
If the police fail to prove her guilt, then she will be let free. But, her apparent compulsory leave issued by her employer leaves things in the balance.
Reputations are fragile, and rebuilding them takes time. However, it can be done. There is always a way out.
