After Kenyans trashed the Head Of State Commendation list - especially the civilian segment - it turns out some of the nominated personalities were not on the list of those invited for the Jamhuri Day Party at State House.

The HSC civilian list had various personalities like radio personalities Njoroge Njogu and Mbusii, Evangelist Wairimu Teresia, Itumbi Dennis, Onyango Robert Alai, TV anchor Maribe Jackie, Gospel singers Githae Ben and Rufftone, Mbusii and Fatuma Zarika among others.

So, it would then make sense that the nominated names would be on the list of the Jamhuri Day celebrations party at State House, right?

Wrong.

And Githeri man found out that the hard way.

Githeri man who gained national traction after queuing with githeri to vote on August 8, 2017 could not access State House.

According to The Star, Githeri man was unreachable and the Honours Advisory Committee had a fruitless search for him days to Jamhuri Day.

Kwani aliuza simu alipewa?

It is said the man hardly keeps a phone or a number due to his huge thirst for local brews.

Sources close claim,  Githeri man got wind of the news of his HSC commendation on Jamhuri Day. He heard that he was among persons President Uhuru Kenyatta was to fete – on that day.

Filled with enthusiasm, the man took a taxi straight to State House, but, having no clearance card, State House security denied him entry, despite his dropping the githeri line, hoping that the uncompromising security officers would allow him to go and shake Uhuru's hand.
