Musician Charles Njagua Kanyi, known as simply Jaguar, has seen his close relationship with the president rewarded.
In a gazette notice published yesterday, Jaguar was named a board member in NACADA, the agency that fights drug abuse in Kenya. It was an unexpected appointment considering the artist is in a business that goes hand in hand in alcohol, even though himself he doesn’t drink.
Of course Kenyans on Twitter would not have enough of this. Here are sampled tweets.
