“I Had Mechi with Two Women Who Had ‘HOMA KUBWA’, But I Didn’t Contract It” - Pastor T MWANGI’s shocking confession sparks debate (VIDEO)
Friday, February 20, 2026 - Controversial Kenyan preacher, Anthony Kahura Mwangi, popularly known as Pastor T Mwangi, has set social media abuzz after sharing a shocking testimony during a recent sermon. The Life Church Limuru lead pastor revealed that in his teenage years, he engaged in unprotected intimacy with women later confirmed to be living with HIV but somehow tested negative for the virus, a result he attributed to divine preservation. Speaking in an interview with Alex Mwakideu, Pastor T admitted to youthful recklessness, saying he was often “high and drunk” during those encounters. He recalled learning that two of his partners eventually died from HIV-related complications. “How the Lord preserved me, I don’t know,” he said, describing the experience as a turning point that led him to reevaluate his life and dedicate himself to the ministry. His confession has sparked mixed reactions. While some Christians embraced his story as evidence of grace, critics raised concerns about its framing. Public health advocates warned that attributing survival solely to divine protection could perpetuate misconceptions about HIV transmission and encourage unsafe practices. In response to the backlash, Pastor T clarified that the events occurred many years ago during his teenage years. He stressed that his intent was not to glamorize risky behavior but to highlight how grace transformed his life. “It was about change, not recklessness,” he explained.

Cheeky Kenyan LADY tries to hit on a random man on the street using the infamous Russian tourist’s tricks and this is how it went down (VIDEO)
Friday, February 20, 2026 - A cheeky Kenyan content creator has taken to the streets with a bold social experiment, reversing roles to test whether local men will fall for her charm in the same way the infamous Russian tourist once captivated unsuspecting women. The Russian tourist had made headlines after approaching random women in public spaces - streets, malls, and even churches - before exchanging contacts and later inviting them to his apartment. Several women fell for his advances, only to later discover that he had secretly recorded their private encounters and shared them online. In her video, the Kenyan lady mimicked his approach, striking up casual conversation with a random man in public. However, the outcome was far from what the Russian tourist experienced. One man she targeted didn’t even pause to engage, brushing off her advances and walking away. When she asked for his number, he firmly declined, saying he was focused on his business. The clip has since sparked conversation online, with many viewers amused by the sharp contrast in reactions. While the Russian tourist’s antics drew women into his trap, the Kenyan lady’s attempt highlighted how men on the street were less willing to entertain such advances.

Media Personality JANET MBUGUA weighs in on the viral Russian tourist’s scandal with Kenyan women - “Outrage after the Fact Is Not Enough”
Friday, February 20, 2026 - Kenyan media personality, Janet Mbugua, has broken her silence on the viral scandal involving a Russian tourist who secretly filmed and leaked intimate encounters with African women. In a candid statement shared on her social platforms on Friday, February 20th, 2026, Mbugua condemned the act as a blatant violation of consent and challenged society’s tendency to blame victims instead of perpetrators. She reminded her audience that outrage often comes too late, after harm has already spread. “A perpetrator recorded and shared images of Kenyan women without their consent, and we watched it unfold in real time.” “We opened, shared and talked about them. Then we blamed the women… And only after all that, we got angry.” “But by then, the harm had already travelled,” she wrote. Mbugua emphasized that outrage alone is not enough, calling out a system that interrogates victims before holding perpetrators accountable. She drew parallels with cases of gender-based violence, including those involving minors, where justice was delayed or distorted by wealth and influence. “Different stories. Same system. A system that questions victims before it questions perpetrators.” “That protects power before it protects people.” “Harm is immediate. Justice feels negotiated. We MUST start demanding more, loudly and consistently, from systems that keep failing people.” She warned that silence and inaction make society complicit. “Because if we don’t interrupt it, then honestly… we are part of what keeps it going.” “Until then, we’re enabling a sick system, and too many lives are being torn apart.” The Kenyan DAILY POST

IDA ODINGA compares herself to Biblical Queen ESTHER, Reveals her staggering net worth during UNEP vetting
Friday, February 20, 2026 - Ida Odinga, widow of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, made a powerful statement during her vetting before the National Assembly, likening her journey to that of the biblical Queen Esther.President William Ruto nominated her on January 23rd, 2026, as Kenya’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).Her name was forwarded to Parliament for approval, with the vetting conducted by the Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations Committee chaired by MP, Nelson Koech.Reflecting on her decades‑long career, Ida said she often found herself in “peculiar spaces that needed a bold voice.”She explained that, like Queen Esther who spoke out to save her nation, she too had consistently raised her voice during critical national and continental moments.“My life and work have been deeply affected by issues that afflict vulnerable populations across the continent,” she told lawmakers.She highlighted her role as a founding member of the League of Kenya Women Voters, where she championed women’s rights and expanded participation in governance. Her advocacy contributed to the creation of 47 Woman Representative positions in the 2010 Constitution.Ida also revealed that her net worth stands at approximately Ksh500 million, clarifying the distinction between her personal wealth and that of the larger Odinga family.“My net worth, Mr Chairman, this is a very interesting question because there are things that belong to me, Ida, and then there are things that belong to the Odinga family, in which I also have an interest, but my net worth is about Ksh500 million,” she stated.Ida emphasized that representing Kenya at UNEP would be the highest honor, pledging readiness to serve if approved.

University student charged for publishing PHOTO of RUTO in a casket sues Safaricom for Ksh200 million after court dismissed charges
Friday, February 20, 2026 - David Mokaya, the university student who was charged in court for publishing a photo depicting President William Ruto in a casket, has now announced plans to sue Safaricom. His lawyer, Danstan Omari, accused the telecommunications giant of breaching the Data Protection Act by allegedly sharing Mokaya’s location with police without a court order. Omari argued that the move violated his client’s constitutional rights to privacy and dignity. “This is a violation of the fundamental human right of Mokaya.” “We shall be moving to the High Court because our client’s constitutional right was violated.” “We have demanded Ksh200 million,” Omari said, adding that Safaricom should also cover legal fees. A demand letter has been issued to Safaricom, giving the company until Monday to pay the compensation. Omari insisted that officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are not permitted to request mobile service providers for location data without judicial approval. He further questioned the legality of police confiscating suspects’ phones and gadgets without court authorization. “The question of police officers arresting people and the first thing they take is a handset - no law allows police to take possession of phones until a court order is issued,” Omari stated. He hinted at pursuing other cases where suspects were tracked through mobile service providers. Trial Magistrate Carolyne Mugo at the Milimani Court dismissed Mokaya’s case, ruling that police had framed him and lacked evidence directly linking him to the offence. Mokaya was released under Section 215 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Kenyan DAILY POST

27 Kenyans among 651 scammers arrested in Interpol cybercrime crackdown recovering Ksh 554 million
Friday, February 20, 2026 - Twenty-seven Kenyans are among 651 suspects arrested in a sweeping international cybercrime crackdown that also led to the recovery of more than Ksh 554 million.Interpol announced on Wednesday, February 18th, that the coordinated operation brought together law enforcement agencies from 16 African countries to dismantle transnational online fraud networks exploiting victims through fake investments, mobile loan apps and digital financial scams.Dubbed Operation Red Card 2.0, the two‑month effort ran from December 8th, 2025, to January 30th, 2026, targeting both perpetrators and the technological infrastructure behind the schemes.Investigators focused on organized criminal networks using digital platforms to defraud victims across borders.In Kenya, detectives arrested 27 suspects linked to fraudulent investment schemes that relied on messaging apps, social media and fabricated testimonials.Victims were lured with promises of high returns from supposed investments in global corporations, depositing as little as $50.Manipulated dashboards and fake account statements showed impressive profits, but withdrawal requests were blocked, trapping victims’ funds.The crackdown extended across Africa.In Nigeria, police dismantled a high‑yield investment fraud ring and arrested six members of a cybercrime syndicate accused of infiltrating a major telecommunications provider’s systems.Authorities also shut down more than 1,000 fraudulent social media accounts.In Côte d’Ivoire, 58 suspects were arrested in a mobile loan fraud operation, with 240 phones, 25 laptops and over 300 SIM cards seized.Interpol reported that the scams caused losses exceeding USD 45 million, affecting 1,247 victims worldwide.The operation also seized 2,341 devices and dismantled 1,442 malicious IPs, domains, and servers.Interpol emphasized that intelligence sharing and digital forensic training were critical in tracing digital footprints and dismantling cross‑border networks.

UDA MP claims Senator EDWIN SIFUNA is bitter with RUTO after missing this powerful Cabinet slot
Friday, February 20, 2026 - Mathira Member of Parliament, Eric Wamumbi, has alleged that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s fierce opposition to President William Ruto’s administration stems from frustration over a missed Cabinet appointment.Sifuna, who has vowed never to support Ruto’s re‑election despite ODM’s cooperation with the Government, currently leads a faction within the party that is openly hostile to the regime.According to Wamumbi, the Senator had sought to join Ruto’s Government as Interior Cabinet Secretary during the 2024 Cabinet reorganisation at the height of the Gen Z protests.“He wanted the Interior Cabinet Secretary position during the creation of the broad‑based Government that saw some senior members of ODM join the administration.”“But Raila Odinga asked him to wait a little bit. So all this anger and bitterness is because he missed that opportunity,” Wamumbi said.Sifuna has maintained that ODM stands a strong chance of forming the next Government, arguing that backing Ruto would be a misstep.His position has divided ODM, with leaders split over whether to align with Ruto ahead of 2027.One camp, led by ODM leader, Oburu Oginga, includes national chairperson Gladys Wanga, governors Abdulswamad Nassir and Simba Arati, and National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed, has resolved to back Ruto’s 2027 re-election bid.On the other side, Sifuna is joined by Siaya Governor James Orengo, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, and Embakasi East MP, Babu Owino, who have rejected the idea of supporting Ruto.

Friday, February 20, 2026 - A man has been arrested after posing as a senior traffic police officer and attempting to extort KSh 50,000 from a motorist in Nairobi. The incident occurred along Muthaiga Road when John Ngumi, a resident of the upscale Muthaiga Estate, was driving his Toyota saloon car home. He was reportedly flagged down by a man dressed in what appeared to be a police uniform. According to reports, the suspect was clad in a khaki police uniform, a white cap, a reflective jacket, and shoulder badges bearing two military-style stars to suggest senior rank. He also carried a notebook, further reinforcing the impression that he was a legitimate officer on duty. The fake officer accused Ngumi of operating an unroadworthy vehicle due to a dented boot, claiming the offence would attract a court fine of KSh 350,000. He then instructed the motorist to drive towards Park Road in the Pangani area. Upon stopping at the location, the suspect reportedly demanded Ksh 50,000 to “settle” the matter and avoid court proceedings. However, Ngumi became suspicious of the officer’s conduct and raised an alarm. Genuine traffic police officers who were on duty along Park Road responded swiftly and intervened. Both the suspect and the complainant were escorted to Pangani Police Station, where the matter is now under investigation. The Kenyan DAILY POST
