A one-year-old thespian based in Mwingi, Kitui county has been in hospital for the last week nursing burn wounds on his two feet.

Mtoto wa Boss, as he's commonly known suffered a 15% burn on both his legs a week ago leaving him hospitalized and unable to continue producing content that has gained millions of views on social media over a short period of time.

The young baby has warmed hearts of many with his magical ways of acting at his tender age.

Mtoto wa Boss acts alongside Mutanu, a renown content creator, journalist and actress based in Mwingi, Kitui.

Mutanu is a house help character who has since been employed to look after the one-year-old after being sacked from countless households as a house help.

Mtoto wa Boss joined the drama queen three months ago, and has since boosted the channel by garnering thousands of views and followers.

Nurtured well, his talent will obviously beat his career in future.

Manyatta Member of Parliament Gitonga Mukunji has said that he will institute a process to recall his EALA counterpart Ms Winnie Odinga for failing to show up in State House for a meeting with President earlier this week.

Mukunji stated that Winnie had started failing on her EALA duties saying that she should have attended the President Ruto’s meeting.

While addressing press at Manyatta NGCDF office in Embu town when he unveiled the constituency NGCDF board member, the legislator said that Ms Odinga was voted in by both the majority and minority MPs to represent the interests of Kenyans in the East African Community and she should not be bias in her duties.

"All members of EALA yesterday went and met the President and CS in Charge of East Africa Region and they were there to get mandate of our standing as a country on issues of East Africa Community. To our shock Winnie Odinga was not there. It is a shame that we still carry ourselves with the boundaries that we should not carry ourselves with. Politics are over," Mukunji said.

At the same tone he said they will summon the EALA legislator to answer to questions why she did not attend the meeting at State House led by the President.

"If he was preparing for maandamano then we will have to replace her with another person," Mukunji said without elaborating.

Images shared by State House Kenya revealed that all the MPs who were elected in the regional house were present during the meeting with Ruto but Winnie was conspicuously missing from the photos.

While answering to questions why Winnie skipped the meeting at State House, Suna Member of Parliament Junet Mohammed said that she was preparing for Raila's scheduled rallies.

"She is preparing for the Kamukunji meeting."Junet Mohammed wrote on Twitter on Monday, December 5.

Manyatta MP Mukunji pledge to ensure resources are evenly distributed across the constituency.

WITH only two weeks to being sworn in, the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MPs have their work cut out.

 

In a meeting held yesterday at State House Nairobi, President William Ruto called upon the regional assembly MPs to focus on trade, investment and peace in the region.

Among the EALA MPs in attendance was Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s son Kennedy Musyoka who will return to the Arusha-based Assembly for a second term.

The Head of State said East Africa holds immense economic potential that partner nations are yet to maximize.

“The economic expansion of the Community is in the best interest of all nations and citizens of East Africa”, he said.

The President advised EALA MPs to put aside their party differences and put Kenya’s interest first.

“When we talk about trade and investment, there are no political parties. Do your best for our country and economy”, President Ruto said in a dispatch from Statehouse seen by MWINGI TIMES.

According to the photos shared by State House, one EALA MP was conspicuously absent.  ODM leader Raila Odinga’s daughter Winnie Odinga was missing from the group photo shared by the State House.
