On November 30, 2019, Ciku Muiruri penned a scathing open letter to men who live off their partners, using the Jowie Irungu and Jacque Maribe case as an example.

Ciku Muiruri's letter has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many people weighing in on the issue of kept men and their responsibilities.
