Nairobi Police Guarantee Tight Security for Burna Boy’s Uhuru Gardens Concert
As anticipation mounts for the MadfunXperience concert featuring Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy at Nairobi’s Uhuru Gardens on March 1, 2025, local authorities are taking comprehensive measures to ensure attendee safety.
Lang’ata Sub-County Police Commander Monica Kimani has assured concertgoers of robust security arrangements. She emphasized that both uniformed and undercover officers will be deployed extensively within and around the venue to prevent any form of criminal activity. Additionally, security will be heightened at hotels accommodating artists and VIP guests, and efforts will be made to maintain smooth traffic flow to and from the event.
The MadfunXperience concert is poised to be a landmark event, featuring not only Burna Boy but also Kenyan Afro-pop talents Charisma and Bensoul. Organizers have partnered with entities such as Odibets, Moët Hennessy, Tribe Hotel, and Uber to enhance the overall experience for attendees.
In light of past security challenges at large events in Nairobi, the police have refined their strategies to ensure a safe environment for all participants. Commander Kimani stated, “We have learned from past experiences and are better prepared to provide security in and out of the event venue. There will be no room for hooliganism.”
Concert organizers and law enforcement are collaborating closely to deliver a secure and enjoyable experience, reinforcing Nairobi’s reputation as a premier destination for international entertainment events.

Broken Dreams: How Kenyan Athletes Lost Over KSh 400M to Love, Lies, and Deception
In recent years, several Kenyan athletes have faced significant financial and personal losses due to exploitation by individuals posing as trustworthy partners or agents. Collectively, these deceptions have resulted in losses exceeding KSh 400 million.
Joan Nancy Rotich’s Ordeal
Marathoner Joan Nancy Rotich, who once represented Kenya in international competitions such as the Taipei and Jakarta Marathons, recently shared her distressing experience. She revealed that her ex-boyfriend and agent misappropriated her earnings, totaling approximately KSh 11 million. Rotich recounted how she invested in assets like tour vehicles and property, only to have them registered under her ex-partner’s name, leaving her with nothing.
A Widespread Issue Among Athletes
Rotich’s experience is not isolated. Many Kenyan athletes have fallen victim to similar schemes, often orchestrated by individuals who exploit their lack of financial literacy. Reports indicate that some athletes have lost substantial amounts to shylocks and dubious investment deals, leading to financial ruin.
Tragic Consequences
The exploitation of female athletes has, in some cases, led to fatal outcomes. The tragic death of Ugandan marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei, who was set ablaze by her ex-boyfriend, underscores the severe risks these athletes face. This incident highlights the vulnerability of successful female athletes to predatory individuals seeking financial gain.
Addressing the Crisis
The recurring nature of these incidents has prompted calls for better support systems for athletes. Advocacy groups like Tirop’s Angels have been established to protect and support female athletes, aiming to prevent such tragedies and provide assistance to those affected.
These incidents highlight the urgent need for comprehensive support systems to protect athletes from exploitation and abuse.

Mumias East MP Salasya Vows to Challenge President Ruto in 2027: “Ready to Send Him to Sugoi”
Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya, has made a bold declaration that he is prepared to challenge President William Ruto in the 2027 general elections. The youthful legislator, known for his fiery speeches and grassroots mobilization, is confident that he can unseat the president, stating that he is “ready to send Ruto to Sugoi”—a reference to the president’s rural home.
Salasya’s Criticism of Ruto’s Policies
Salasya has been a vocal critic of President Ruto’s leadership, particularly on economic and governance issues. The MP has repeatedly accused the Kenya Kwanza administration of failing to prioritize critical sectors such as manufacturing and industrialization, which he believes are key to solving the country’s unemployment crisis.
“If the presidential candidates will not address manufacturing and industrialization in Kenya, I will then be vying for the presidency come 2027,” Salasya said in a recent statement. He argues that Kenya must shift focus from over-reliance on agriculture and service-based industries to large-scale production to create more job opportunities.
Salasya has also been at the forefront of opposing some of Ruto’s executive orders. One of his strongest criticisms was against the president’s decision to scrap the vetting process for acquiring National Identification Cards in the North Eastern region. The MP warned that such a move could pose serious security risks, potentially allowing non-residents and even militants to obtain Kenyan citizenship without scrutiny.
“Scrapping off the vetting process of acquiring ID cards is mandatory in Northern Kenya; that’s the only way you can distinguish locals and non-locals,” Salasya argued.
Salasya’s Growing Popularity and Political Ambitions
Despite being a first-time MP, Salasya has quickly risen to prominence in Kenya’s political arena. His social media presence, direct engagement with citizens, and fearless criticism of the ruling government have earned him a significant following. His approach resonates with many young Kenyans who feel left out of economic opportunities under the current administration.
Salasya has positioned himself as a voice for the youth, pushing for policies that promote job creation, affordable education, and improved healthcare. His insistence on industrialization as a top priority for the next government signals his broader economic vision should he vie for the presidency.
The 2027 Presidential Race: Can Salasya Pose a Real Threat to Ruto?
President William Ruto, who won the 2022 elections against Raila Odinga, remains a formidable political figure with strong grassroots support, particularly in the Rift Valley and Central Kenya. However, Salasya’s confidence in unseating him reflects the growing dissatisfaction among some Kenyans over the high cost of living, joblessness, and unmet campaign promises.
The 2027 elections are expected to be highly competitive, with opposition leaders, including Azimio la Umoja’s Raila Odinga, also considering another bid for the presidency. If Salasya follows through with his pledge to run, he will likely position himself as an alternative candidate representing young and marginalized voters.
A Political Underdog or a Future Leader?
While Salasya’s declaration has sparked mixed reactions, his growing popularity cannot be ignored. Some analysts argue that his presidential bid might be premature given his short political career, while others believe his boldness and grassroots connection could shake up Kenya’s political landscape.
As 2027 approaches, Salasya will need to build a strong political network, secure endorsements, and prove that he can be a serious contender against seasoned politicians. Whether or not he runs, his criticism of the government and push for industrialization will continue to shape political discourse in Kenya.
For now, one thing is clear: Salasya is not afraid to take on Kenya’s most powerful leader, and his journey to 2027 will be one to watch.
Samidoh’s Viral Hit ‘Toxic Love’ Taken Down from YouTube After Copyright Dispute with Gospel Singer SK Ruri
Samidoh’s popular song “Toxic Love” has been removed from YouTube following a copyright infringement claim by gospel singer SK Ruri and comedian Morey Wakibiru. The duo alleges that “Toxic Love” closely mirrors the melody of their earlier track, “Thutha wa Maundu,” released six months prior.
Despite attempts to resolve the matter amicably, SK Ruri and Morey Wakibiru claim that Samidoh was uncooperative, leading them to file a complaint with YouTube. Consequently, the platform removed “Toxic Love” on February 6, 2025.
Before its removal, “Toxic Love” had garnered significant attention, trending at number one for a week and amassing over 4 million views. Released on December 10, 2024, the song delved into themes of love and betrayal, leading many to speculate about its connection to Samidoh’s personal experiences.
This incident underscores the importance of originality and respect for intellectual property in the music industry. It also highlights the challenges artists face in protecting their creative works and the potential repercussions of copyright disputes.
For those interested in the song at the center of this dispute, you can listen to “Thutha wa Maundu” by SK Ruri and Morey Wakibiru here:
“Stevo Simple Boy to Bahati and Willy Paul: ‘Where’s the Message, or Did You Lose It in the Studio?’
In the world of Kenyan music, it’s not every day that you get a critique from Stevo Simple Boy. Known for his straight-talking style and signature “sober” approach, the hitmaker has weighed in on Bahati and Willy Paul’s new collaboration – and let’s just say, it’s not exactly a rave review.
Stevo, who’s built a name for himself by keeping it real and delivering songs that speak directly to the soul (and sometimes, the wallet), had this to say about Bahati and Willy Paul’s latest musical endeavor: “No meaningful message.”
For context, this collaboration has been touted as a big moment for the Kenyan music industry, with both Bahati and Willy Paul being no strangers to the spotlight. But for Stevo, it seems like these two musical heavyweights missed the memo on how to deliver a track with depth.
“I listened to it and was like… Okay, is this what we’re doing now? Where’s the message? Did you leave it at the studio? Or did it fall off the bus when you guys were heading there?” Stevo quipped during a live interview.
He continued, “You know, I like a song with a message. Like, ‘Tuendelee’—that’s a message. Even ‘Nikikukwambia’—there’s a message. But this one? What am I supposed to do with this? Dance? Think? Cry? I’m confused!”
Fans of Stevo’s no-nonsense style were quick to rally behind him on social media, with some even poking fun at the “lost message” by creating memes and mock video reviews. One fan even shared a video of Bahati and Willy Paul looking for their “message,” complete with a dramatic search montage set to Stevo’s biggest hits.
But before you think Stevo is all about the negativity, he wasn’t done yet. “I’m just saying, the song sounds nice… but if you’re going to make music, make it count! Don’t just release any beat and call it a hit. Give us something to talk about. The only thing I’m talking about is how I lost my lunch during that chorus!”
Still, it’s clear that Stevo’s comments were less about hating on the artists and more about pushing them to do better. In true Stevo style, he added, “Bahati and Willy Paul, I respect you guys, but next time, let’s make music that gets people talking for the right reasons.”
So, what’s the takeaway from this whole situation? Stevo’s message to Bahati and Willy Paul might just be that the secret to success isn’t just hitting the right notes—it’s hitting the right message.
Until then, we’ll be over here searching for the message… somewhere in the next big hit.
