"14 Days To Go," Annonymous Letter Writer Warns

We reproduce this annonymous suspected NMG staffer-crafted letter posted in this blog earlier today;

In 14 days from today, the dark secrets that Nation Centre has concealed over the years will be laid bare to the entire world. From March 1, you’ll get a series of exclusive, comprehensive and accurate reports on sex scandals involving senior editors and managers that have left many female staff of Nation Media Group scarred, many homes broken and many hearts shattered. These are reports that will shock you and the entire world. They will keep you captivated to your internet for as long as NMG sex predators defy our calls to resign.

For the time being, we are demanding the immediate resignation of the Group Editorial Director, Mr Wangethi Mwangi, the Group Managing Editor, Mr Joseph Odindo, the Group Human Resources Director, Mrs Helen Mbugua, and the Group Marketing Director, Mr Cyrille Nabutola. Our research, investigation and analysis team, which has been working closely with a highly-qualified team of private investigators, has put together a water-tight dossier on the sex lives of the four senior managers and it’s only waiting to roll off the streets and in the internet. The team is also working on the dossier of other top managers and we will in due course let you know who is next in the line. The war against immorality and evil is unstoppable. We want our female colleagues to work in a safe environment. Men who have wives working for NMG will not suffer anyone under our watch. If only carpets of some of the managers can talk. It’s time for managers who spend most of the lives beneath the skirts of helpless and innocent junior staff to be shown the door.

Already, the NMG top leadership has been hit by a high fever resulting from panic. Almost three weeks, the Group Security Manager, Mr Sam Koskei, visited the offices of the weekly Citizen newspaper and offered them a huge bribe to kill a series of articles they had lined up for publication on the unfolding sex opera at Nation Centre. The trick worked since the newspaper has not turned a blind eye on the unfolding drama. Mr Koskei has been boasting to top managers how he managed to cover the lid. For how long are you going to succeed Mr Koskei? You are a trained prison warder and we only wish you can update your skills since you are not in touch with modern technology. The alternative press is only one weapon at our disposal and it’s less consequential. The other weapons we have in store will put to shame the prisoners’ training skills that you boast about. Are you listening? Please continue watching this space. You are so narrow-minded.

NMG prides itself as the leading watch-dog of society and the truth is that the people we rely on to blow the whistle on all the rot that is eating away at our Kenyan society must be beyond suspicion, let alone reproach. Kenyans and the entire world have all the reasons to worry when senior Editors of a leading media house like NMG turn out to be badly rotten than the people they expose in our newspapers every day. We all know that office carpets in Nation Centre have some delicious stories to tell if they could talk. And how we wish Wangethi's carpet (retrenched reporter Claire Gatheru is a living testimony) and his green Mercedez Benz (Adhiambo, are you listening) can talk?

We did not imagine the NMG management can be that scared of the truth. They are the same people who coined slogan Find the Truth in the Nation. But it looks like the truth is only sweet when told about other people who do not work in the Nation Media Group. If the managers can pay hefty bribes to kill stories about them, why should Kenyans continue relying on the NMG publications for the truth? Those of us in the newsroom who cares about their integrity and reputation must stand up to be counted. We must work in solidarity force the managers who have been using our fellow colleagues as sex toys to leave the company. If the stories on their sex lives we have been channeling out to the entire world through the internet are not true, why have they panicked and why should they want to kill stories in other newspapers? THE GUILTY ARE ALWAYS AFRAID.

Afraid and ashamed to face his wife at home and ourselves in the office, Mr Mwangi has resorted to criss-crossing from Kenya , Uganda and Paris in the name of doing company business. It would be his wish for the Ugandan government to keep shutting down NTV Uganda so that he can find an excuse of being far away from his wife and us. After he returned from Paris with Linus, Mr Mwangi could not afford to stay at home. He sneaked into the office last weekend and locked himself inside hoping the heat will cool off. Woe unto you! Mambo bado. Things will get thicker from March 1.

And have you seen the way Mr Odindo has been carrying himself in the newsroom for the past one week? The burden of evil has really weighed down his shoulders and he wishes the world would collapse on him. Mr Mwangi is so cleaver. When the scandal sex scandal was exposed, he found excuses of dashing out of the country at will. And who carries his burden? He leaves behind Mr Odindo to carry his heavy load. The way the gigantic Odindo has been dragging his feet, gnawing his teeth and walking with a drawn face in the newsroom in the past week is enough testimony that he is carrying a heavy load of sins. He, too, has resorted to running away from home and spending his weekends in his office. He found solace in his office the whole of last Saturday.

Ooh poor Joe! How does it feel to share Buzz Editor, Adhiambo Odera, with your friend Wangethi? And how does it feel to share her with junior reporters and watchmen? The story around this woman who swags her huge bottoms around the newsroom and the men who have ever laid her in NMG will be the first to roll out on March 1. Joe and Wangethi, prepare your wives and other concubines for the battles ahead.
Perhaps, Joe and Wangethi should arrange to sneak Adhiambo back to Malindi to wipe out their tears.

In just 14 days from today, Nation Centre will never be the same again. . . . The internet and the streets of Nairobi and major towns will be abuzz with stories that will shock you and the entire world on the untold stories on the sex lives of our bosses.

We must redeem the dignity and integrity of NMG and the journalism profession at all cost.
