August 31, 2021, marked a day of speculation in Kenyan social media circles, with blogger Dennis Itumbi sparking a heated debate over the alleged engagement of President Uhuru Kenyatta's daughter, Ngina Kenyatta, to Sam Mwai Jr.
Itumbi, a controversial political activist, took to social media to share the news, wishing the couple well in a post that read: 'The Hustler Nation Intelligence Bureau (HNIB) agents are reporting Wedding Bells. Congratulations Ngina Kenyatta. Congratulations Sam Mwai Jnr. May Blessings, happiness, and Joy fill your path.'
However, the news did not sit well with some Twitter users, who accused Itumbi of spreading rumors. The families of the two individuals involved have yet to confirm the allegations, leaving many to speculate about the authenticity of the news.
Ngina Kenyatta, who has managed to keep her personal life private, has been at the center of attention in recent months, following the marriage of Deputy President William Ruto's daughter, June Ruto, to a Nigerian.
While some Kenyans have praised Ngina for choosing a Kenyan partner, others have criticized Itumbi for spreading unverified information.
