Nairobi, Kenya | THE INDEPENDENT | Dr Stella Nyanzi has reportedly fled to Nairobi, Kenya where she is seeking political asylum, Kenya’s Nation.Africa (Daily Nation) has reported.

  1. She won’t have as much freedom in Kenya as she had in Uganda. This was the most quoted woman in the media in Uganda. She could even undress in front of cameras the way she wanted. She caused a furor with Prof Mamdani. In Kenya, she won’t be able to do that. Let’s hope she’s only in transit in Kenya like the Tanzanian MP was. After he relocated to Canada, nobody hears of him anymore. No more celebrity-like status.

      I think she is just terribly disappointed after being humiliated in the just ended elections where she was trounced badly. Nyanzi is just a nobody on the Uganda political scene, just an ageing shameless filthy mouthed cantankerous woman. No one would want to harm her, many the wives of husbands she has snatched including boys of 17 years. Let her join her counterpart homos in Europe. She is surely on transit and looking for a job too after becoming jobless.

  2. Ugandans and our never- ending drama!

  3. Not so kind words Kipto John Cheboriot!.I wish you spend more time saving your sisters and mothers from genital mutilation!!!

  4. It’s very shameful to hear Ugandans/Africans using malicious language to castigate their best brains, Scholars that will tinker them ahead knowing very well that United we stand and divided we fall. Good luck Madame ST and I wish you and your young family all the best & I know you will be back soon cos the dictator will surely fall soon.❤️
