Mike Sonko’s daughter Salma Mbuvi is clearly following in her father’s footsteps and making headlines left, right and centre…….she really does crave for attention. I guess that’s the reason why The Trend presenter Larry Madowo thought it necessary to SHADE the young socialite in his weekly column.
Needless to say, it wasn’t at all pleasant. He referred to Salma’s action as theatrics and really doesn’t understand why the media glorifies her actions…..probably because it makes good entertainment.
Salma wasn’t the only socialite wanna be in the frying pan, unpaid hotel bills champion Laura Oyier was also under scrutiny. This is what he wrote:-
“We do have a knack glorifying the absurd
WHAT DO SALMA MBUVI, Laura Oyier, Joyce Omondi and Ange Kagame have in common? Nothing, actually.
Sonko’s daughter almost blew up the Internet when she casually showed off a gun on her Instagram page, while Laura, who’s claim to fame is still inexplicable, launched a luxury line of water that goes for Sh800 for a 750ml bottle.
The singer and TV presenter, Joyce ,graduated with a Master of Science in foreign affairs from Georgetown University in Washington DC while President Kagame’s daughter also graduated with a degree in political science from Smith’s College in Massachusetts.
If you were a little girl looking for a role model, who would you be following closely? My guess is, Salma and Laura are probably getting more attention than Joyce and Ange.
What does that say about a society that glorifies theatrics and unpaid hotel bills over actual accomplishment?
The media gets a bad rap for shining a spotlight on the wrong people but this one was not the doing of the media.
Kenyans just seem to be attracted to the shallow and the myopic over the inspirational and the extraordinary.
Best to end with the Bible’s wisdom: “If anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.”
