Last week, faded beauty queen and self-confessed “husband snatcher” Cecilia Mwangi said she is comfortable being a second wife, unwittingly endorsing adultery, a move increasingly costing her a position as the ambassador in the campaign to fight jiggers, further highlighting the discipline dilemmas facing Kenyan celebrities.
In an interview published, struggling celebrity rag, Drum magazine, Mwangi admitted to being “married” to what the Nation described as a “youthful member of parliament,” but Jackal News can authoritatively reveal that it is Garsen lawmaker Danson Mungatana, who is legally married to a radio journalist.
The faded beauty said she was inspired to come to the open by hapless singer, Linda Muthama – of Tusker Project Fame 1 -- who is second wife of Comedian Walter Mongare aka Nyambane. Refusing to name her “husband”, Mwangi told the Nation: “We are now in the campaign period and I want my husband to be at peace.”
Jackal News wondered whether she is married, why is she refusing to say the name of her husband? A source responded: “Because she is bent on destroying another happy family.”
Mwangi, mistakenly, but proudly calls Mungatana her “husband” and “head of her house”, explaining that they have a 14-month-old baby called Cherise. “I am proud to say I am his second wife,” said the faded damsel, who made her name fighting jiggers in central Kenya, but now risks losing the entire “thing” that made her noticeable. Jackal News can reveal that she was busy having an affair with a married man the whole time pretending to fight jiggers.
According the Nation’s Kenfrey Kiberenge who mysteriously handled Mwangi’s story with baby gloves, wrote: “She says one of the conditions in the relationship was that the MP would not neglect his other family.” Sending subtle signals that she wanted Mungatana by hook and crook, she said: “As long as he is taking care of the other family I am OK,” but innocently, but methodically growled: “If he considered abandoning them for me then that would be the end of us.”
Ignoring that Mungatana was a married man, Cecilia Mwangi said her decision to go public was inspired by the fact that the union was long-term. “We have one child and a second one is up for discussion,” she says. “I decided to go public because it is a serious relationship.
Unbeknownst to the damage she could do to society and even risk the ire of women whose men are promiscuous, she supported polygamy arguing it is here to stay, Kiberenge writes. “We must embrace our African culture,” she says. “People must stop demonising second wives because we are not bad people.”
Now, sources told the Jackal News that key sponsors in Ahadi Kenya – the charity that has deployed Mwangi as its ambassador – have threatened the plug the plug on funding organisations on grounds that she does not have the moral authority to represent the charity. “It is totally against our principles as sponsors; now it is up the Ahadi Kenya to decide,” another source added.
Mwangi is among many Kenyans notoriously uncouth so-called celebrities who have lost millions because of bad behaviour, according to sources in the marketing and adverting industry. “I cannot get celebrities because nearly all of them are crap,” said the source dejected. [IMAGE/NATION]
