Are you saying it is okay to go hitting on anything hittable as long as the by-product doesn’t see light of day? Can you image what his wife and children are going through right now? What happened to upholding morals jamani? What? Alipita na mboch?"@LeonLidigu said: "Nothing wrong about two adults deciding to have sex. The negligence part when a kid becomes involved is the part that is wrong."@mukhebisimiyu said: "That is so hilarious, but a man is never complete if a cute and beautiful maid is untouched, house girls sometimes are too tempting, Wamatangi was tempted like any other man."@willyandago said: "Clothing KES 20,000 per month? Gold diggers."@OlwenyDavid2 said: "A whole Senator hitting and running."@jodhiambo830 said: "Waaah my learned friend ilikuaje mboch?"@isaacnyakairu said: "Can't imagine what her secretaries goe thru.
