Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has now asked popular Mugithi singer Samidoh to take care of his marital affairs or else he will be disciplined.
Insisting that the singer, who is also a police officer, is letting his fans down, Mr Gachagua told Samidoh, real name Samuel Muchoki, that he is an embarrassment by letting his private issues spill into the public domain.
“Wewe sasa Samidoh unajua tunakupenda lakini kuna mahali unatuangusha kidogo. Samidoh, u control hii watu yako… Hakuna ndovu hushindwa na pembe zake…” he said.
Gachagua was referring to a recent incident where Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu was caught on video fighting with Samidoh’s wife at a club in Dubai in the presence of Samidoh. He was speaking in Gatundu during the burial of Trade CS Moses Kuria’s sister.
Samidoh and Karen have a child together and their love life has kept the gossip sector thriving.
The altercation happened when Nyamu went to a table where Samidoh had sat with his wife and forcefully sat on his lap.
Nyamu took to social media the next day saying she did not regret the incident but said she would never be involved in such a situation again.
“You know guys, I have no regrets from last night, I don’t wish I did things any different. I however promise you that this is the last time your girl will ever be involved in a situation like that ever again,” she wrote on her Instagram page.
Mr Gachagua ended the Samidoh part of his speech by telling the singer he would have a sitdown with him to help him figure out his issues but also sounded a warning should that fail.
He said if Samidoh can’t put his house in order, he would be barred from travelling abroad or be restricted to only fly alone to mitigate any shame he would bring the country.
“Na ukishindwa, because you are one of our officers, tuta ku discipline, tutakataza wewe kwenda ng’ambo ama kama utaenda utaenda pekee yako ndio tusipate aibu,” he said.
