Self-proclaimed President of single mothers Esther Akoth aka Akothee has made it clear that she has is done helping Shadrack Mwita the disabled man she rescued from the streets a few months ago.

The singer stated that no one should ever link her to Mwita after what she termed as being taken through a horrible experience while trying to help the homeless man (Mwita) she had adopted.

According to Madam Boss, Mwita changed a lot after she took him in as her own son, tabling some weird demands that were hard for her to meet.

She added following the adoption of Mwita, her own brother abandoned her because he was not for the idea of welcoming Mwita into her home without a proper background check on his family.

The No- Filter maker also pointed out that Mwita abandoned the house she had rented for him to move in with another family, but when he ran into trouble he started begging for help again.

“…His name is shadrack mwita 🙏

Now with those few remarks. I have never given birth to a child with the name Shadrack Mwita . I have my two boys in France and my 3 girls.

They are well behaved and taking care of themselves .

Don’t ever call me regarding any Shadrack Mwita I don't know him 🙏 nor his family

Let him go back to the streets where I found him . Unfortunately Tuskys where I found him is closed, let him go to Naivas there are big cars passing there

I am done 🙏” reads part of Akothee’s post.

According to KFCB Boss, the funnyman should be conscious about the young generation that might be influenced by the content he is putting out there.

"People are doing all manner of staff, including some people like Eric Omondi, Unashangaa uhyu ni mwendawazimu gani, kuna heshima gani unajionesha kwa video kwa njai ambayo haifai na wewe ni mtu mzima. Na unasema ati wewe ni King of Comedy Afrika. Sasa King of comedy, si ujiheshimu basi, king of comedy si uwe na heshima kwa Watoto na hizo vitu ufanye then you put a disclaimer ni za watu wazima” said Ezekiel Mutua.

I regret posting my eldest son on social media – Anne Kiguta

To share or not to share? That’s the question most celebrities often deal with when it comes to social media but for others like Anne Kiguta not sharing her private life is a no-brainer.

In Q&A session with her fans via her Insta-stories, the K24 news anchor disclosed that she regrets sharing her eldest son pictures on social media.

According to the media personality, she already has a pretty public life and she would like her kids to enjoy their privacy at all costs. Adding that the kids are too young for social media.

'Gosh, so may of you have said this…was the number one response! Well I will have to let you down on that my loves. I’m rather traditional (believe it or not) so I'm vehemently against it. My babies are all still far too young, including the eldest, to be on social media. In fact, I really regret having posted my eldest at all.

Mummy already has a pretty public life. They deserve their privacy. A reference every once in a while perhaps but nothing more than that for a long, long, long time. Hope you understand” shared Anne Kiguta.

Over time, Kiguta has proved to be among public figures who are notoriously private in an industry that demands publicity.
