Tom Daktari injured in yesterday’s protests

Posted on by Baba Ghafla

Yesterday’s protests were one for the ages. Young Kenyans took to the streets to demonstrate their anger with the government’s proposed finance bill. Trending comedian Tom Daktari was apparently one of them. Unfortunately, it appears as though he was caught in the crossfire between the protestors and the police. He posted a video showing that his car was damaged in all windows as protestors pelted it with stones and all manner of objects.

Tom said,

“Guys, let’s not change the focus. The fight is against the finance bill, not against each other. Kwa hivyo ni vibaya tukiumizana. Ukiniumiza, kesho tutaenda kuteta na nani?”

He showed the stones that were still lodged in his Nissan X-trail and said

“Sasa unaona hiyo mawe? Gari sasa imekufanyia nini? Tukiwa peaceful, itakuwa ni vizuri. Sasa unaona kama umeniumiza na hukuwa na sababu, unarusha tu mawe kwa sababu gari inapita”

There was also a couple of stones that were thrown directly at the driver’s side and broke through the window. That definitely put Tom at risk if the car was in motion while he was being stoned. He is right, the protestors should have aimed their anger at government officials who were more deserving rather than comedians like him.

He was also shown putting his hand in a bandage, meaning that there was meaningful damage to his arm

Comedian Tom Daktari Excited Over First Ever International Show in Tanzania

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Kenyan TikTok sensation Andrew Wambua Mboya, alias Tom Daktari, is on cloud nine after selling out his first international comedy show in Tanzania.

The rising star took to Instagram to express his gratitude to his Tanzanian fans after a tremendously successful performance.

“Here to thank God Again. My first international comedy performance was huge. Asanteni Watanzania for the love and the sold-out show,” he wrote.

Tom Daktari’s rise to fame is a testament to his talent and hard work. In a previous interview, the comedian disclosed the challenges he encountered while pursuing his dreams.

Tom recalled a moment in his life when he attempted to start a business by selling eggs. On the first day, he managed to sell only 10 eggs out of the 30 he had. Tom attributed his business failure to a lack of understanding about how the market operated.

“The egg business should have eggs, onions, and tomatoes. I just went with eggs and tomato, and customers would ask me why doesn’t this one have onions, and they’d decline to eat,” he shared.

After his egg-selling venture proved unsuccessful, Tom Daktari ventured into selling oranges, which also did not yield the expected results. It was then that he decided to explore his talents in acting and comedy.

Tom Daktari’s success is a reminder that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. He is an inspiration to many, and his story shows that it is never too late to pursue your dreams.
