Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has responded to reports appearing in a section of local media claiming that he is involved in an illicit love affair with a young church girl, where he serves as an elder.
In the article, Standard Newspaper claimed that a “no-nonsense, outspoken and strong christian” Cabinet Secretary has an illicit love affair with a member of the choir and has even bought her a house in the city. It however, did not mention the name of the said CS.
However, in a letter to the Standard on Thursday, Interior Ministry director of communications Mwenda Njoka asked the publication to withdraw the story and apologize within seven days, failure to which they will take legal action.
Njoka said that he had reasons to believe that the Cabinet Secretary described in the article was Matiang’i.
“In an article previously published in your newspaper, you have used adjectives such as ‘no-nonsense, outspoken and strong Christian’ to describe CS Matiang’i. It is for this reason that we have reason to believe the CS your article was disparagingly referring to is Matiang’i,” reads the demand letter to the editorial director.
He added: “The net effect was to defame and vilify an innocent public servant in the eyes of his peers, family, and right thinking members of the public.”
The article claimed the girl is a soloist in the church choir and the CS’s wife had allegedly confronted the her mother over the affair her daughter has with her husband.

This is Kenya..and as long as the girl is of age and it was consensual, that is their own business.
Matiangi or whoever, strong men in history, the likes of Nelson Mandera.. Martin Luther King.. were dogged by women.. they are human too, flesh and blood never will be perfect — but that does not diminish what they do for their fellow country men.

Maxiley, who has hijacked your personality? Your posts do not reflect the Max I saw in the past. I request formerlyguest2 presents again. She had a grounding effect on you. This max is thirsty for revenge, in contrast to the humbling Max who oversaw peace in Mwakilishi. Vipi bwana?

I sympathize Max. She is a lady true to her word as she stuck to her threat to boycott Mwakilishi if it continued parading Raila daily. However, I am sure she is watching with a squint, so I say to her: HOLLER to Max formerlyguest1, he is, to his own admission, being led astray without your input! Amebadilika sana, sio mzaha!
