Pritty Vishy Opens Up About Her Cosmetic Surgery Journey
Kenyan influencer Pritty Vishy, 23, has undergone a series of cosmetic procedures including a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), tummy tuck, and liposuction. In a candid video posted to her YouTube channel, she appears in a hospital bed wearing a medical gown, openly discussing her post-surgery recovery. Her transparency has sparked conversations online about body image, self-confidence, and the growing popularity of cosmetic enhancements among young African influencers.
“This was not an easy decision,” she says in the video. “I knew what I was getting into, but it’s still scary when you wake up with drains in your body and can’t even sit properly. But I did this for me, not for clout or anyone else.”
Vishy shared that the recovery process has been intense. She detailed how drain tubes, tight compression garments, and mobility restrictions have become part of her daily routine. Despite the discomfort, she emphasized that she does not regret the decision.
“I want to feel confident in my skin. I’ve been judged for my body for so long — shamed, ridiculed — and now I’m reclaiming it on my own terms.”
The influencer also opened up about the backlash she expected — and is already receiving — from critics who accuse her of promoting unrealistic beauty standards. In response, she stated:
“I’m not telling anyone to go under the knife. I’m just showing my journey. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to watch. But for those who are considering it, I want them to see the real side — not just the glam shots.”
Since posting the video, fans and followers have flooded the comments with a mix of support, concern, and curiosity. Many praised her for being transparent, while others expressed worry about the risks involved in undergoing multiple surgeries at once.
This marks a bold chapter in Pritty Vishy’s public life, where she continues to embrace vulnerability and controversy in equal measure — a trait that has kept her in the spotlight since her rise to fame in Kenya’s digital entertainment scene.

Nakuru, Kenya – Officers from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) based in Nakuru have arrested an Assistant County Commissioner from Bomet County for allegedly demanding a bribe of Ksh. 20,000.

New Orleans Jail Faces Fresh Blow After Inmate Mistakenly Released
The Orleans Justice Center continues to grapple with security lapses, as yet another incident rocks the troubled facility. Khalil Bryan, an inmate facing multiple serious charges—including aggravated assault with a firearm, domestic abuse, child endangerment, home invasion, and drug possession—is now on the run after being mistakenly released on July 25.
The error reportedly stemmed from staff confusion between Bryan and another inmate with a similar name. The mishap has resulted in the firing of two deputies and the suspension of five others pending further investigation.
This latest blunder comes just months after the same jail made headlines in May when 10 inmates escaped in a separate incident, raising deeper concerns about systemic issues within the facility. Authorities are actively searching for Bryan, urging the public to report any information on his whereabouts.
EACC Survey: KWS Tops List of Most Expensive Bribes in Public Service
A new survey by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has revealed that Kenyans seeking services at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) are paying the highest average bribes in the country — an estimated Sh200,000 per bribe.
According to the 2023 National Ethics and Corruption Survey, the KWS accounted for the largest share of national bribes at 35.73%, far ahead of other institutions. It was followed by the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), where the average bribe was Sh47,129, and the National Treasury Pensions Department, with an average of Sh40,000.
The report highlights a troubling pattern of deep-rooted corruption in key government agencies, with citizens being forced to pay hefty bribes to access public services. The EACC has called for urgent reforms in the most affected institutions and stricter enforcement of anti-corruption laws.
The survey raises fresh questions about accountability in the public sector, especially in departments tasked with handling citizens’ pensions, social security, and land conservation.

Senate Summons CS John Mbadi & CS Wycliffe Oparanya over Retirement Benefit Delays

This follows a pattern of previous no-shows that has sparked escalating frustration among lawmakers.

Harambee Stars’ historic 1–0 win over DR Congo
This was Kenya’s opening game in Group A of the CHAN 2024 tournament.
They faced two-time champions DR Congo, making the result a monumental upset
In the second minute of added time in the first half, midfielder Austin Odhiambo sliced through Congo’s defence and scored with a calm finish into the bottom-right corner
The goal came after a clever passing move: Daniel Sakari initiated play, found David Sakwa, who in turn released Odhiambo, who then beat Magloire Kalonji and slotted the ball past Brudel Liyongo
This goal was not just a match-winner—it was Kenya’s first-ever goal in CHAN history, and the 420th goal ever scored in the tournament, with Kasarani becoming the 29th CHAN venue to witness a goal
DR Congo thought they had taken the lead within the first five minutes via a powerful strike from Jephthe Bola, but VAR overturned it due to a foul on Kenyan captain Abud Omar, much to the relief of the home crowd
Kenya controlled possession—about 65% in the first half—and created several promising openings, while Congo held more shots overall but fewer on target
Alpha Onyango earned Man of the Match for his composed midfield performance alongside the youthful defensive midfielder Manzur Suleiman, who was deployed in midfield despite being a natural left-back
The defence, marshalled by captain Abud Omar, Daniel Sakari, Alphonse Omija, Sylvester Owino, and Zonal goalkeeper Byrne Omondi, held firm under pressure—especially in the final minutes of stoppage time
The stadium was packed with Kenyan fans, and when Odhiambo scored, it ignited bedlam: roaring celebrations from home supporters and stunned quiet from the visiting fans
Political leaders, including President William Ruto, who attended the match, and other dignitaries backed the team enthusiastically. Each player received a KSh 1 million bonus for the win, as pledged by Ruto and later amplified by other sponsors
Coach Benni McCarthy, in his first competitive win since taking charge in March, praised the team’s ability to overcome nerves and stay disciplined under pressure
He explained the unconventional midfield pairing: Suleiman in defensive midfield behind Onyango and Odhiambo, designed to break up play and provide cover for advancing attackers.
Kenya now turns their focus to Angola in their next Group A fixture on Thursday, August 7, at Kasarani—with a 7pm kickoff expected.
