Oh boy here we go again, not…
Oh boy here we go again, not undermining her achievement but just in my area code I can cite self-employed Kenyans and African folks who get contracts worth Mil $$ from Fed Govt – I do not see them here on Mwakilishi. Yes, it is motivating but these “phenomena” achievements are not rare, we all don’t come out to give interviews …… Now waiting for Matusi to follow –
@Formerlyguest2, I think …
@Formerlyguest2, I think @Mwakilishi is getting lazy at gathering genuine stories, and fabricating others. First there was Wambui Mburu, now there is Josephine. What these two ladies are said to have ‘achieved’ is nothing new here in America. I know of Kenyans who have done more, and make much more than these Mwakilishi ‘achievers’. And unlike in Kenya where you have to have Government contracts to earn good money, many of them do not even work for the Federal, or State Governments. I even know of Kenyans, doing regular jobs, who make more than the official salary of POTUS. And this is not hyperbola. And I have never seen them giving interviews, because they know that what they are doing is not new here. That is why I believe that these ‘success’ stories, which are full of praise, and scant in details, are a creation of the author, for whatever reason.
AM VERY PROUD OF ALL THIS…
AM VERY PROUD OF ALL THIS KENYAN WOMEN USING THEIR PUSSY CAT TO RAISE TO THE TOP .
HOW COMES NO MEN HAVE GOTTEN ANY OF THIS ACHIEVEMENTS,TOO BAD FOR ALL MWAKILSHI SMALL BALLS BOYS( MSBB) NOTHING.

Maybe their pussy smell better than your rotten pussy @toto. Take a water hose and rinse your pussy with Clorox and you should get the same contracts the women with a nicer pussy are getting!
@YESNIA I CAN REALLY TELL…
@YESNIA I CAN REALLY TELL YOU ARE ONE OF THE MWAKILSHI SMALL BALLS BOYS (MSBB) WHO DOSENT SEE ANY PUSSY CAT THE ONLY TIME YOU SEE.PUSSY CAT IS WHEN YOU ARE CLEANING OLD WOMEN MATAKO .
Thanks for sharing my story…
Thanks for sharing my story. My main aim was to motivate young men and women to be in Step careers. I ended up opening up about other things. The working at the bank was just the headline that Lynn chose but that was the main thing. It may not mean anything to those in diaspora but it motivates those in Kenya that have no hope. Look up the story at Lynn Ngugi’s show and please watch before judging. Thank you all for continued support. It’s not easy to be vulnerable on national TV. I worked very heard to be where I am and it has taken years, so now I did not have to do what others are suggesting, it’s only that I couldn’t share everything about my journey but I’ve had moment of tears even faced termination from a job.
I meant to say the main aim…
I meant to say the main aim of the interview was to inspire and encourage young men to be in STEM careers. The Reserve Bank and how much I make wasn’t the main thing, it’s what Lynn chose as the headline. You can watch the whole video here: https://youtu.be/piq0wp3nLgE?si=gFvaKY1rMYhK1Mq-
