From loved to loathed: Social media disowned these famous Kenyans

A few months ago, an enterprising young Kenyan stormed into the limelight and captured the imaginations of the country. Christopher Nyangwara Mosioma is a gospel artiste. He is a sharp dresser with an aversion for boring colours. He is also a committed family man.

Looking at him without context, you’d never know he is also the name behind Embarambamba, the electric performer who has made himself a household name thanks to his antics. Watching the man in action is a lesson in unpredictability. Nobody and nothing is safe; not idling cows, not a patch of mud just lying there invitingly, not even a tree that was otherwise minding its business.
