Jowie’s Mother’s Solemn Words if Son Found Guilty
Half a decade ago, there was uncertainty within Joseph Irungu alias Jowie’s family regarding the verdict of the murder case involving their son.
Then, they were hopeful that their son was innocent.
On Friday, the High Court rendered a verdict, declaring Jowie responsible for the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani, while his former fiancée, ex-TV presenter Jackie Maribe, was acquitted of the charges.
Justice Grace Nzioka affirmed that the prosecution had convincingly demonstrated that Irungu murdered Kimani.
During a private conversation with NTV half a decade ago, Jowie’s mother expressed her empathy for the anguish experienced by Monica’s parents.
She expressed regret to Monica’s family if her son was proven guilty of causing Monica’s death.
“Nawahurumia kama mzazi na naskia ile uchungu ya mtu kupoteza mtoto wake but ile kitu inanishangaza nashindwa kweli ni mtoto wangu alifanya, hio ndio swali najiuliza na ningependa tu Mungu afunue nijue ukweli ndio niweze kuheal kwa sababu niko na shida,” she said.
(As a mother, I feel the pain of losing a child. But what puzzles me is whether my son did it. I ask myself that question. I ask God to unfold the truth so that I can heal because I am going through so much pain).

In the interview, Jowie’s family portrayed him as someone devoted to Christianity and passionate about the Church.
During his upbringing, Jowie’s father disclosed that he was part of the choir.
Jowie, a gospel artist, has unveiled numerous songs, with his most recent release occurring last Friday. Interestingly, he uploaded this latest track on his YouTube channel shortly after being declared guilty.
In the track titled “Nakuabudu,” Jowie expresses his intention to seek solace in God, shedding tears at His feet as he embarks on a journey back to divine connection.
“Mikononi mwako Yesu, narejea. Miguuni mwako Yesu, nalilia,” Irungu sings.
Jowie has since been taken into custody awaiting his sentencing on March 8, 2024.
Even as Kenyans awaits his sentencing, Jowie, through his advocate Professor Hassan Nandwa said he will be appealing against the decision of the High Court.
He said even though they respect the judgment, they disagree with her findings.
