City Preacher Robert Burale is concerned about unreliable and temporary friendships, especially in the world of fame. He brought this up as Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu’s friends deserted him amidst a guilty verdict in Monica Kimani murder case
Robert Burale remembered how popular Jowie was the first time he was released before he was tried and convicted for Monica Kimani murder. Jowie was often invited to podcasts and parties. And various “useless celebrities” wanted to be seen with him. Yet, none went to support him in Court.
“When Jowie was first released pending trial he became an instant celebrity. Other ‘celebrities’ (useless careers) were flocking to take photos with him. Most Podcasters interviewed him. He was everyone’s darling.. When he was found guilty, there were very few people around him.”
Robert Burale expressed.
Only Jowie‘s family has stood by him. After the Court found him guilty, Jowie’s emotional sister openly wept for his damned fate. Burale noted, “We saw painful tears from his sister. No more Podcasts. No selfies with so called celebrities.“
Jowie’s Sentencing Postponed
And on the initial sentencing hearing on March 8, Jowie’s mother is the one who stood by him. Burale said, “On the day of his sentence his mother stood by him. In the photo below she is looking at the officer as if to say, do not let the handcuffs hurt my son.”
Jowie’s sentencing was postponed to Wednesday March 13 because crucial documents were filed late, and his lawyer needed more time to review reports and file a reply. The court also raised concerns about a change in Jowie’s legal representation.
Jowie, seemingly intent on maximizing attention, has recently released a song titled “I believe.” The upcoming gospel artist first released track “Nakuabudu” following his guilty verdict in the Monica Kimani murder case.
