MERU DAILY

A Picture of a Popular Entertainment Group. Photo/MC Barack. My dear gossip-loving readers, today’s tea is not just hot — it’s volcanic. What happened yesterday in Meru would make even telenovela writers take notes. So, here’s the scene: popular entertainer MC Jessy called artists from across the entire Meru region — from Thuci to Ntonyiri — for a “big meeting” at a well-known hotel around Makutano. The meeting, according to the whispers of the land, was about the upcoming Meru Festival , which we can now officially call a flop because the event has been cancelled before even taking off. Artists showed up in impressive numbers — 89 in total , according to my trusted, slightly dramatic sources. They arrived early, excited and hopeful, ready for a day of planning, progress, and professionalism. Instead, what they got was: one cup of tea and a few mandazis. That’s it. A whole day. Tea.

Now, when Tush says something is brewing, it’s already simmering. And true to his touch, before he could even align the match schedule, sponsors were joining like the event was giving out shares: DJ Alekkings , ready to shake the air.

Photo/Felix Kinyua Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves — because this Saturday, November 15th, 2025 , starting at 3PM all tarmacked, murram, and dusty roads lead to one sacred destination: Murugi’s Base, just a few metres from the former DCI boss’s residence. Don’t worry, no investigations here — only good vibes, cold drinks, and plenty of action on the pool tables. The Battle of the Cue Sticks This isn’t your usual ka-base pool tournament. This is the Meru Pool Premier League, the showdown of all showdowns. On one side, eight cue-wielding warriors from Mikocheni Makutano are sharpening their shots. On the other, eight homegrown legends from Murugi’s Base are ready to defend their territory with precision, pride, and a touch of mischief. And what’s at stake? A smooth Ksh 5,000 for the winner, Ksh 4,000 for the first runner-up, and Ksh 3,000 for third place. Honestly, if you’ve ever dreamed of making fast money without join...
