Kenyan comedian suspected to be losing his mind

he post on Facebook by Esther
Kahuha, an actor formerly of Wingu
La Moto caught our attention.
“I want to believe that everyone flips
at one time and behave funny but
do we post that you have gone
nuts…”
Esther is also a former actor with
Ayeiyaa Poa Poa at Heartstrings and
she was tellingly commenting on
Ayeiyaa’s mental situation after
reports that he had become mentally
unsound.
Whatever the case, a visit to the
comedian’s Facebook page revealed
nothing out of the ordinary besides
post after post with reference to
God, salvation and repentance giving
off an indication that he may be a
recent convert.
Making his TV debut on the
Churchill show, the Heartstrings
actor soon became a household
favourite marked by his hooks, funny
jokes, briefcase prop and the
newsboy cap that became part of his
trademark gear. After a hiatus from
the Churchill show that raised
eyebrows, he termed his break as a
strategy to work on personal
projects.

“Churchill is a great platform but I
want to push my own brand in my
own platform, which will also help
me mentor other guys, which I think
is lacking,” he said sometime early
this year in response to his
prolonged absence from the show.
He maintained a low profile, acting
at the National Theatre and
appearing in comedy nights around
the city, he came under the
spotlight last week but for curious
reasons. The grapevine round town
has it that the talented funny man
has lost his mind and to support
this claim, a video of him ‘preaching’
while seating on the tail gate of a
Pickup at the Rongai Uchumi was
nothing short of shocking. With what
looks like sackcloth round his waist,
one Moha tries to calm the actor
down getting into an embarrassing
feud before the video ends.

“He’s not insane. He is just saved
but to the extreme. But also
something could be off because he
takes mogoka, which may affect him.
I can’t confirm whether he smokes
something but what I know is he
needs help and as friends we will do
that,” MC Jesse lends his opinion
when sought for comment.
An insider and close associate of the
comedian echoed the same
sentiments, stating that he was in
deed acting weird which led to many
people interpreting it as insanity.
“What I know is that he used to
smoke something being a diehard
reggae fan. He loves to chew a lot of
miraa so I am guessing
zimemurarukia (the side effects are
kicking in hard after weed use)”
After he showed signs that raised
concern his colleagues and sister
took him to hospital last week on
Tuesday but AKA was not cooperative
and refused to be tested, claiming
he was OK.
“He is being monitored by several
friends and his sister just in case
something happens because he is
acting strangely perhaps from
depression.
He recently got a wife and child and
his financial situation isn’t good so
that may be contributing to his
stress besides the fact that he says
he is now saved,” a renowned
comedian reveals, while seeking
anonymity.
