Muirani Moves To “Contain The Fire” Lit By Pastor Beatrice
Mr. Githuku wa Muirani, one of the initiative takers of ”Kibaki Tena” Lobby group in Scandinavia, has said that Pastor Beatrice Kamau should stop meddling in the affairs of Narc-Kenya Scandinavia because the Party is capable of solving its own problems.
Responding to a recent attack on him by the Pastor, Mr. Muirani said that Pastor Beatrice should not try to arbitrate in any perceived dispute within Narc-KS because she is not a member of the Party.
On Tuesday this week, the Pastor said that it is her who convened a meeting last year of Narc-Kenya MPs in Stockholm before Narc-KS was formed and that from her knowledge, Muirani was not part of those who formed Narc-KS.
In response, Muirani said that it was not Pastor Beatrice who convened the said meeting. “Beatrice convened a meeting of Kenyan MPs from different parties when the MPs came for a seminar in Stockholm. She did not convene the meeting where Narc-KS was formed”, Muirani said. After the meeting in question which was held in Skarpnäck, another meeting was held at Mwaura’s residence together with the MPs and Narc-KS was formed.
Mr. Muirani said that “as a woman of the cloth”, he expected Pastor Beatrice to concentrate on issues of spiritual nourishment, not being partisan on political issues.
“Pastor Beatrice is supposed to harmonize the Kenyan community, not open new avenues of conflict”, he said.
The Pastor had questioned why Muirani was quick to call a Prayer meeting for three Kenyans who were murdered in the United States but when one of his family members got into trouble in Sweden and ended up in jail, he did not call for any Prayers. According to Pastor Beatrice, this was hypocrisy.
In response, Muirani said that he went public and declared that the Prayer meeting that was held for his cousins who were murdered in the US also included prayers for his relative who was jailed in Sweden.
The Kenyan politician however said that he could not comment on allegations that he once wrote a letter to the Swedish authorities calling for the deportation of Pastor Beatrice to Kenya when the Pastor sought political asylum in Sweden in the 90s. “That is a legal issue and I will not comment on it at the moment”, he said.
In a brief and carefully worded response, Mr. Muirani said that despite the attack on him by the Pastor, he wished her well in both her political and spiritual advancement.
Judging by the virulent nature of the missiles that were fired by Pastor Beatrice in Muirani’s back yard, the politician’s response is moderate and probably designed to contain the fire that was lit by the Pastor instead of fuelling it even further with more inflammable substances.

James Gichu Back From Paris In A Private Jet
James Gichu, a Sweden-based Kenyan artist known as St James, has just arrived from Paris in a Private Jet. In a “Newsflash” intercepted by KSB, St James said that he had been to Paris to work with the re-known producer Bob Sinclar on a dance floor track.
“I’ve wanted to make a dance-floor track for some time now, but it took a while to find a production team that ‘feels’ me”, he told KSB.
His new track is called “United” and it is about universal love. The Artist said that the track is deliberately “Cross-cultural so as to make it impossible to niche it it in any one category”.
At the moment, he said that what follows is a deal either with MTV Europe or MTV North. He however refused to speak about details around the deal saying only that it was “prudent” to wait until the deal is struck. “My people are having meetings with their people”, he said.
Asked what it felt like to work with Bob Sinclar, he said that the producer “is a cool cat” who is as crazy, if not crazier than him.
St James confessed to KSB that he doesn’t really know Paris and that he had to rely on the “natives” who were guidng him.
“I also went to Cannes, which I must say is a totally different planet”.
His new song, which was availed exclusively to KSB on mp3 format, had a three months producton time frame but St James said it only took three weeks. He said that Bob is slated to produce the rest of his album.
When asked about expected time of release, he said: “Release is imminent, but what with i-tunes and ringtones to negotiate with, I’ll wait until after the video-shoot-out to give you specifics”.
He said that there is something he wanted his fans to know about working with Sinclar: The producer thinks that “If it feels good…Do it! But do it in a smart way”.
He chuckled KSB when he narrated how he had problems convincing his crew at Broma airport that he could get to his crib at Friedhiemsplan by pulic bus service because there was a direct one.
“I had a lot of problems convincing the crew that I had a direct SL Buss from Bromma Flygplats, and that I didn’t need a limousine”.
In the end, he gave up and took the Limo. Soemtimes it is “hard times” being a high flying star like St James.
When ordinary Wakenya are riding rough in the underground, St James is thirsting to have a taste of what it feels like to ride in the pulic transport system. KSB wished him well with the impending album.
