Popular X personality SIAH WANJA sparks conversation with her views on love and loyalty - “If you cheat, I’ll cheat back”
Wednesday, December 24, 2025 - Controversial X personality, Siah Wanja, has set tongues wagging after candidly sharing her uncompromising stance on relationships.In a recent interview, she revealed that loyalty is non‑negotiable and cheating is a deal‑breaker she cannot forgive.“I don’t cheat. If it’s you, it’s you. But if you cheat, I will cheat back,” she admitted, before clarifying that she prefers honesty over retaliation.“I’d rather break up than cheat,” she added, leaving no doubt about her boundaries. For Wanja, forgiveness has limits - infidelity is one she cannot cross.“Never. If someone cheats, I cannot forgive,” she stated.She reflected on the challenges of modern dating, noting how casual attitudes towards intimacy and transactional relationships have complicated romance.“There is no loyalty nowadays. People are dating to get something, not because of love,” she observed, pointing to insecurity and lack of commitment as major hurdles for young couples.When asked about her ideal partner, Wanja expressed admiration for traditional men who provide care and stability.“I want someone to take care of me. I’ll stay home, cook, and give babies,” she said.Yet, she also embraces modern values, desiring independence and freedom to socialize.“I also want to go out, be pretty, and make friends,” she added.

They froze my account with Ksh 5 million and demanded 30% bribe to open it - Man recounts his shocking experience with I&M bank and warns Kenyans against trusting them
Wednesday, December 24, 2025 - A long-time customer of I&M Bank has shared how his trust in the institution was shattered after his account was suddenly frozen, leaving him stranded during the festive season.The customer, who says he moved between 7-13 million shillings through his account this year alone, explained that after withdrawing 2 million in legitimate business proceeds, he returned to the branch days later only to be bounced between the teller and manager before discovering that nearly 5 million shillings had been locked inside his account.“December. Festive season. School fees coming in January. Zero access to my own money,” he recounted, adding that despite providing all requested “source of funds” explanations, he was dragged in circles while his life and business were put on hold.Out of frustration, he involved his lawyer, but matters escalated. On December 15th, he received a call from a stranger who told him plainly that his account could be “helped” if he surrendered 30% of the balance.“Think about that. Thirty. Percent. Of my own hard-earned money,” he said. Shortly after, his account was reopened.The Kenyan stressed that ordinary citizens are working tirelessly to escape poverty, yet some of the very institutions entrusted with safeguarding money exploit clients when they are most vulnerable.“Avoid I&M Bank. What I’ve experienced there has destroyed every bit of trust I had in them.”“Young Kenyans protect yourselves. Don’t assume the people guarding the vault are on your side. Hunger is everywhere, even in the banking halls.” He warned. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Prime CS MUDAVADI reveals how cartels frustrated and chased away Singapore investors - “I brought those people to Kenya”
Wednesday, December 24, 2025 - Prime Cabinet Secretary, Musalia Mudavadi, has revealed how entrenched cartels blocked efforts to modernize the Port of Mombasa in the 1990s, chasing away potential investors from Singapore.Speaking in an interview with journalist Alex Chamwada, Mudavadi recounted that during his tenure as Finance Minister between 1993 and 1997, Kenya explored a partnership with Singapore aimed at elevating Mombasa’s port to international standards.He personally travelled to Singapore to negotiate the deal, noting the country’s reputation for efficiency in port management.“We were trying to get a partnership between the Port of Singapore and the Port of Mombasa because the Singapore people are extremely efficient in port management,” Mudavadi said.“I went to Singapore, and I had time to negotiate with them. I came with those people to Kenya.”According to Mudavadi, the Singaporean team had agreed to improve infrastructure and operations at the port.However, their efforts were met with fierce resistance from cartels who benefitted from rogue practices.“When we brought these people to partner with the Port of Mombasa, the cartels in Mombasa who did not want Mombasa to achieve international standards fought and chased away the team from Singapore and frustrated them,” he disclosed.Mudavadi lamented that Kenya’s infrastructure challenges are often self-inflicted, warning that inward-looking attitudes hinder growth.“Kenya will not grow if we continue as an inward-looking people.”“We must get ourselves to see the examples, the developments and the best practices that are taking place in other countries,” he said.His remarks come as President William Ruto champions the “Singapore Dream,” a vision to transform Kenya into a first-world economy.Earlier this month, Ruto launched a Ksh5 trillion Infrastructure Fund to support the goal, despite sharp criticism from the opposition.

Kathy has continued to speak openly about her journey, often repeating, “God is too faithful,” as a reminder of divine presence through moments of sadness and adjustment. Recently, her son, Jeremy, got engaged to his lover, Stephanie Githinji, with Kathy describing Stephanie as a blessing that brought happiness to their home. She expressed gratitude for the support shown during the engagement gathering, calling it “such a blessing to have so many amazing people.” “It was such a blessing to have so many amazing people.” Kathy expressed appreciation for the support shown to her family. “It’s an honour we thank everyone for loving us,” she said, before adding, “But most importantly, we thank God for GRACE.” Earlier in December, Kathy marked what would have been Bishop Kiuna’s 59th birthday and their 31st wedding anniversary. She shared that she continues to hold on to faith and cherished memories, keeping his legacy alive within the family. Bishop Allan Kiuna, founder of Jubilee Christian Church (JCC), which Rev Kathy now leads, died on July 9th, 2024, at a Nairobi hospital while undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma cancer, after a long battle with the disease, and was buried on July 17th, 2024.
