I’m a Billionaire & this is how I make my money - KRG the Don

Flamboyant Kenyan Musician Stephen Karuga popularly known as KRG the Don is one of the most successful entertainers in Kenya and all thanks to his business acumen.

In an interview with Mpasho’s Dennis Milimo, the Wano hit maker listed several businesses that have been financing his flashy lifestyle.

The star also dismissed claims that he is involved in money laundering schemes and other illegal deals.

“I normally don’t sell my music locally, because people don’t do streams. The biggest consumers of my music are people in the US, Europe then Kenya. Out there is where the money is.

I am in so many businesses. I have business in almost every sector in this country. I’m in Real Estate ( own properties), transport business, I sell cars (several yards), and finally, I'm in the music business. I'm also a brand ambassador of several brands.  And on top of that, I'm also a mini-partner in other businesses," KRG the Don explained.

Adding that; "All this business is what makes me money. I normally don’t talk about them because it's not a must and that’s why people speculate a lot about me. If I was a criminal, I could not be here doing this interview, I could be behind bars,".

The musician went on to narrate that he roughly spends about Sh100, 000 and almost Sh3, 500, 000 in a month.

Juliana Cherera booed at IEBC retreat

Juliana Cherera, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission vice chair is an unhappy woman.

This was after she and the other Commissioners who distanced themselves from the Election results got booed at during an IEBC retreat.

"Yes, I was booed. The other commissioners were booed too. But amidst the booing, some cheered for us. The chairman was in attendance and watched silently as some clusters of staff booed us and he did not raise a finger," lamented Cherera

A section of the commission's staff faulted Cherera, Irene Masit, Francis Wanderi, and Justus Nyang'aya, for the widening rift within the commission. 

The IEBC chair noted that this caused innocent officials to be subjected to arrests and harassment by law enforcement officers. 

"The most unfortunate incident was the false accusation by commissioners and fellow staff - under oath - that exposed innocent hardworking staff to arbitrary arrests and abductions, intimidation and harassment by security agencies and political goons, and other forms of obstructing election officials from conducting their duties."

The retreat was held at Mombasa Pride Inn Hotel last week.

"Wacha nitaongea na mzee na marafiki wake wenye wako kwa serikali saa hii unajua serikali yenye iko saa hii haina mambo mingi, I can change ... (I will speak to my man and his friends who are in the government right now, the current government is chilled.)"

KFCB bans all movies with LGBTQ+ content in Kenya

All movies with LGBTQ+ content are prohibited in Kenya, according to Christopher Wambua, acting CEO of the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB).

Speaking on Friday, Wambua asserted that Kenyan law forbids LGBTQ+ relationships and content.

"As we rate and classify content, we also consider other applicable laws. If there is any content that normalizes, glorifies same-sex relationships, our position in Kenya has always been to restrict and not to broadcast, exhibit or distribute that kind of content within the borders of the country," he said in an interview with Spice FM.

Wambua continued by saying that agreements reached outside of Kenya have limited the amount of content that can be viewed there.

In the previous years, he claimed, they had outlawed a number of Kenyan-made films with LGBTQ+ material.

One year ago, the KFCB forbade the 52-minute film I am Samuel due to its homosexuality-related content.

The Board noted that "restricted" in this situation meant that it was illegal to show, distribute, own, or transmit the movie inside the Republic of Kenya.
