Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua treated guests at his birthday party to a rendition of the love ballad 'Malaika', which he dedicated to people he loves.
The invite-only party was held at Emara Ole Sereni over the weekend. The 51-year-old held a joint celebration with Tanzanian singer Raymond Shaban, aka Rayvanny, who just turned 28 years.
In his speech, Mutua said this was his very first birthday party celebration. "I am very happy to see all of you here. I want to thank all the people who have been in my life. My parents, my sister, my teacher my pastors, my friends," he said.
"The people who have been there for me politically. Hon Muthaura, Former President Mwai Kibaki, President Uhuru Kenyatta, Hon Raila Odinga, who have been there for me, nurturing me."
His ex-wife Lillian Ng'ang'a was in attendance at the event. She didn't give a speech but shared a photo of the governor on Instagram, writing, "To 51 and another 51. Happy Birthday."
Other guests included Classic 105's Mike Mondo, Homeboyz Radio's Kerry Martin, comedians Churchill and Eric Omondi, Marini natural founder Michelle Ntalami and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Mutua said life is about sharing and caring and keeping no grudges while lifting people up, adding, "I and moving on with life. I am in the second half of my life. I am very happy especially because of the blessing of God."
