Brown Mauzo Sets Boundaries in Co-Parenting: “No Late-Night Calls Unless It’s an Emergency
Coastal singer Brown Mauzo has made it clear that when it comes to co-parenting, there will be no unnecessary late-night phone calls — unless it’s a matter of urgency.
Speaking in a recent interview, Mauzo said that while he values communication for the sake of his children, he believes it should have limits to avoid unnecessary drama or misunderstandings.
“I’m very open to discussions about the kids, but we can’t be calling each other at 1 a.m. for things that can wait until morning,” he stated.
The musician did not specify whether the comment was aimed at his high-profile ex and socialite Vera Sidika, with whom he shares a daughter, or his other baby mamas. This has left fans speculating and fueling gossip across social media.
Mauzo and Vera parted ways in 2023, with both insisting they were committed to peaceful co-parenting. However, his latest statement suggests he wants to draw firmer boundaries moving forward.
The singer also hinted that healthy co-parenting requires respect for each other’s personal space, especially when both parties have moved on with their lives.

-
Requires county treasuries to release funds by the 15th of each month for the next month’s expenditures, subject to assembly approval.
-
he law formalises management procedures for county assembly finances, bolstering their ability to operate independently and transparently.
-
. County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2025
-
-
Sponsored by: Senate Finance & Budget Committee Chair, Ali Roba
-
Key Provisions:
-
Allocates KSh 415 billion in equitable share to the 47 county governments for the 2025/26 fiscal year—reflecting a 7.1% increase from KSh 387.4 billion allocated in 2023/24.
-
Requires the National Treasury to publish monthly reports on actual transfers to counties. Counties must also include and announce such receipts in their quarterly and annual financial statements, enhancing transparency.
-
Establishes budget ceilings for both county executives and assemblies.
-
Sets out procedures for funding functions transferred between county and national levels, including requirements for quarterly performance reporting to the Senate and participating assemblies.
-
This is the first allocation using the Fourth-Generation Revenue Sharing Formula under Article 217 of the Constitution.
-
The increase in allocations, combined with transparency and performance provisions, strengthens fiscal predictability and accountability in Kenya’s devolved governance.
- These laws come amid recent reforms in Kenya’s finance and revenue landscape—including passage and assent of the Division of Revenue Bill 2025, allocating Sh 415 billion to counties and Sh 9.6 billion to the Equalisation Fund—along with other fiscal discipline measures.
- The County Allocation of Revenue Bill sits alongside a broader national push for greater financial accountability, balanced resource distribution, and public trust following years of protests generated by tax-related tensions.

Raila calls for end to visa barriers to spur Africa’s growth

Empower youth and deepen integration. He reminded leaders that Africa’s majority population is young, and unlocking their potential requires mobility, opportunity, and investment On his X account, Raila reinforced these key appeals.
