After stirring up real trouble in Nairobi, leaving behind a trail of controversies and conspiracies, Nairobi Business magnate Joe Kariuki has now pitched camp at the Coastal City of Mombasa where, our sources have learned, he seems to have kicked off his usual shadowy activities yet again.
According to our sources, Joe Kariuki, the founder and proprietor of leading Cryptocurrency company 51 Capital, has now opened yet another outlet in the Bamburi area of Mombasa and has been on a recruitment overdrive that has seen him net hundreds of young girls and women from the areas into his controversial company.
Photos reaching our desk seem to show Coastal girls flocking into Joe Kariuki’s Mombasa offices and, we have learned, some of these young women have been bringing along older, white men to, ostensibly, start cryptocurrency accounts for them at 51 Capital.
Joe Kariuki’s suspicious activities trended a few weeks ago after he was called out for running a seemingly secretive network called ‘Powered Up’ in which he was said to be recruiting wealthy individuals into a form of a secret cult from where they would be instantly turned into millionaires after investing in his Pessacoin platform.
Unbowed by all the negative attention and backlash he received from the media, the controversial businessman seems to have now moved his activities to Mombasa and, it seems, he has already found a following overnight.
We tried to reach some of the girls seen trooping into his swanky offices and while a few were reluctant to talk, at least two offered to open up but on condition of anonymity.
“Mimi nimemjulia Joe Kariuki kwa mtandao. Nimemjulia online. Nimemskia na vituko zake na wakati ilipotangazwa kuwa anafungua ofisi Mombasa nikawa interested kutembea na kujua kile anachokifanya huku. Ndipo nikam-meet na kugundua kuwa ni mtu mzuri tu mwekezaji lakini watu wengi wana taswishi naye. Ila mimi sina shida naye kwa sababu nimeona uwezo wake na yale mambo ambayo anafanya yanasaidia vijana sana. Sisi warembo wa Pwani tumechoka kutumiwa vibaya ndiposa tuko nyuma ya Joe Kariuki kwa sababu inaonekana anatujali na pia tunapata pesa ipasavyo, “ Aisha Mohammed* (not her real name) said to us.
Sources indicated to us that Joe Kariuki has been swindling wealthy white tourists using the Coastal girls and making millions out of them but the City businessman declined to address the matter in a phone call only referring us to his juniors.
“All those are lies. Joe Kariuki is not using Coastal girls to lure rich, white men to invest in his company and make millions out of them. That’s total bullshit. The girls can speak for themselves. Nothing like that is happening and even if it is, everyone is an adult here and, like they say in Las Vegas, what happens in Mombasa stays in Mombasa, “ Winnie Oketch, Joe Kariuki’s office spokeswoman, said
Well, it seems like there is really no end to the Joe Kariuki drama and now that he has moved to Mombasa, the Coastal Governor Hassan Joho better watch out for interesting times ahead.

A 26-year-old prison warder has been arrested by the police in Kiambu County in connection to a murder that happened on Wednesday, February 26, 2020, in Ruaka.
Tairus Mwangi is alleged to have killed his girlfriend Karwirwa in Ruaka. The two love birds have been dating for over a year and a half, nurturing a relationship that began on Facebook.
The deceased’s brother, Erick Kimathi, told K24 Digital on Saturday, February 29 that their relationship had been riddled with unending disputes and claims of unfaithfulness.
"Their relationship was full of physical abuse, with the suspect often being the aggressor,” stated Kimathi.
Tairus works as a prison warder at Malindi GK Prison in Kilifi County and had visited her for a few days.
He added that Karwirwa, who stays at her friend’s place in Donholm, Nairobi was always quarrelling on phone with her lover.
Kimathi revealed that his sister, who earned a living from online writing, would often visit her lover at his Malindi work station on several occasions. This time, Mwangi had travelled in Nairobi on Tuesday, February 25, and asked Karwirwa if they could meet to iron out their differences.
Karwirwa accepted the request and the two went to his sister’s place in Ruaka, where they quarrelled again on Wednesday, February 26.
It was then that Mwangi allegedly reached for a hammer and hit Karwirwa in the head, nose, and back, killing her on the spot.
Mwangi's sister reported the incident to the police after she arrived at her house that evening and found Karwirwa’s body lying in a pool of blood on the floor.
CCTV footage shows Mwangi leaving his sister’s house later on Wednesday after having a change of clothes.
The DCI detectives tracked him down and arrested him on Thursday, February 27 in Kahawa West. He will be arraigned in court Monday, March 2, 2020.
Karwirwa’s body was laid to rest on Saturday, February 29, at Mwanika Village in Central Imenti in Meru County.
Deputy President William Ruto arrived at the burial of Sergeant Kipyegon Kenei in Nakuru County after cutting short his trip in Kiambu County on Saturday, March 7. Ruto was received by Water CS Simon Chelugui, who is a cousin to the deceased.
Kenei's body was ferried to Nakuru on Friday, March 6, ahead of his burial on Saturday, March 7 in Chamasis home in Solai ward, Nakuru County.
DP Ruto held a closed-door meeting with elders and Kenei's close relatives ahead of his send-off, which was conducted by his fellow police officers.
"In our family we have no past history of suicides and not a single family member has ever committed suicide and the late Kenei cannot be the first one. It is time we end unnecessary drama and detectives get important phone numbers of suspects who were communicating with Kenei before he was killed," Chelugui stated on Friday, March 6, at Umash Funeral Home, Nakuru.
Ruto, on Saturday, March 7, while at Maria Immaculata Church, Kiamumbi in Kiambu County, had informed the audience that he would be joining his officer's family in his final send-off.
"I am grateful for being here. However, accept my apologies, I won't stay long. I am rushing to the burial of one of my officers who passed away. I will come back at a later date to pray with you," Ruto stated.
The DP was accompanied by MPs Nixon Korir (Lang'ata), Rigathi Gachagua (Mathira) and Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika.
At Kiambu, the DP donated Ksh1.5 million towards the construction of a multi-purpose hall, to be used by children in the area. Gachagua, Korir and Kihika all donated Ksh 50,000 each. The DP also promised to buy a bus for the church.
"I will send government officials to follow up on the construction of the hall. I have listened to your lamentations and I will take my time to plan and come back with a school bus for the children," he promised.
Ruto on Friday, March 6, spoke, a few hours after his office, through Chief of Staff, Ken Osinde, issued a statement challenging details of the CCTV footage that was aired by Kinoti.
The DP stated that he had observed criminal cover-up in the murder case of Sergeant Kenei, who was attached to his office. He argued that the culprits were roaming free as Kenyans were being fed with half-baked truth.
"The truth must be found on why, how, and who killed Sergeant Kenei. The family, my office and Kenyans want the truth and justice and culprits held to account.
"The drama, distortions, convenient half-truths and the smear campaigns in sponsored headlines amount to criminal cover-up," Ruto lamented while pushing DCI Kinoti to speed up the investigations.
Kenei's widow, Judy Chepsoi, on Friday, March 6, mourned his husband as Kenei's father lamented over his son's death.
"What will I tell our children when they grow up? Who will help me raise them? It's hard for me to believe he is dead. But I leave it to God," Chepsoi wondered.
"I have a strong conviction that my son's blood will forever haunt those who killed him. I urge all officers to do their duties without fear. We expect transparency in the investigations without any form of cover-up for the sake of any other officer who may be working in such a risky environment," John Chesang, Kenei's father added.
US Pop artist Selena Gomez has called out President Uhuru Kenyatta in a video for making empty promises in the education sector.
In a video posted on her social media account, she reminds the president to improve the state of education in the country. This is after she silently made a visit to the country to follow up on the promise President Kenyatta made in 2018 at the Global Citizen Concert.
He said in a video message that funding for education in Kenya will be improved from 17% to 30% of the national budget. This promise, however, was not kept as the Ministry of Education was only allocated Ksh 473.4 billion of the Ksh 3 trillion budget (only 15.4%).
This year I pledge to you that in Kenya, our education budget will be closer to 30% of our total budget, making it probably the highest on the African continent
President Uhuru Kenyatta
After making her silent visit to the country, Selena Gomez noted that poor families and marginalized communities are yet to have proper access to education. She now urges the president and the Ministry of Education to keep their pledge and ensure that every child has proper access to education.
President Kenyatta, at the Global Citizens Festival in South Africa, promised to increase spending in education from 17% to an impressive 30% of the national budget, but we haven’t seen progress or received an update on this yet
Education changes lives. I recently traveled to Kenya with @wemovement and witnessed firsthand the importance of quality education. I’m supporting @GlblCtzn to call on Kenya to keep its promise to every Kenyan child. https://glblctzn.me/3aI8LbA
