Murang’a Senator Nyutu Narrates How Love for Girls Derailed His Priesthood Passion
The senator from Murang’a reflected on how his fascination with attractive women diverted him from his childhood aspiration of becoming a Catholic priest.
“I had just been circumcised… you know… and I had started visiting the nearby Muthithi market (in Kigumo constituency)… I looked at the beautiful girls walking around and I silently abandoned the passion of priesthood,” he said while addressing his brethren at Muthithi Catholic Church.
At the Holy Mass, where Vice President Rigathi Gachagua was the chief guest, the congregation was left in stitches when Mr. Nyutu, in his comic element, declared that “the soul insisted on the priesthood but the body flatly refused”.
He apologized to the priests present, saying: “I have betrayed the cause since I discovered women and marriage as a good thing… it was all my fault as I was led by a strong body charge which found a weak faith in me”.
Mr. Nyutu stated that despite his weaknesses, he maintained unwavering faith in the Catholic Church and never doubted his trust in priests.
“That is why I have never abandoned the Catholic faith and priests remain among my good friends. I love the Church of God and all faiths… My only problem was that I could not resist the lure of beautiful girls,” he said.
Mr. Nyutu, aged 59, is a parent to three children: a daughter currently practicing law, a son employed as an engineer, and another child still attending high school.
He originates from Ichagaki Ward in Murang’a County and commenced his political career with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

Mr. Nyutu, a staunch abstainer from alcohol and vehemently opposed to smoking, sniffing, or consuming tobacco in any form, is renowned for his witty rhetoric and unwavering convictions.
Nyutu urged for the dismissal of Mr. Gachagua from his position as deputy president and proposed that Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro be named as his running mate for the 2027 elections, positioning him as the successor to President William Ruto in 2032.
Mr. Nyutu told Gossipa2z.com on Sunday that “we have abandoned that line of argument and we are busy helping President Ruto and Mr. Gachagua to implement our joint coalition plan”.
He mentioned the possibility of running for the Maragua constituency seat in 2027, currently occupied by Mary wa Maua. It’s rumored that Mary wa Maua is considering a bid for the governor’s seat against Irungu Kang’ata.
