EXCLUSIVE! MAINA KAGENI finally comes out: I am GAY

Maina Kageni has come out of the closet and he is not afraid to tell the whole world.

It is a decision I have thought about through and through; but I think there comes a time when a man has to face the truth and let people know who he really is; I cannot continue living a lie,’ he said.

Kageni, who said he knew he was gay since his teenage years, said he was forced to remain in the closet due to the nature of his work in the media.

'‘Its not easy being openly gay when you are in the media. I have had stints on both radio and TV but none of them would allow me to be openly gay. I had to hide it because I feared I might lose my job.’'

Kageni,and his co-host, Mwalimu Kingangi (Daniel Ndambuki) are the most tuned in radio hosts in the country, according to polls.

Maina has for years been rumored to be gay. Adding to speculation of Kageni’s sexuality is his supposed wealth and high rolling life.

Despite being well known and having business interests that have made him one of the highest paid media personalities, Maina has not been seen often with women or is not known to be married or dating anyone.

A few months ago, Pulse Magazine published a photo of him kissing a woman at an exclusive function. The photo caused a buzz as most thought Maina had finally gotten married.

Reacting to this, Maina says he received many phone calls asking if he finally got hitched. ‘I am not married. I love and respect women but the person I marry will be a man.’

Adding to this was a photo of Maina allegedly in a close embrace with another man (wearing a vest) that went viral on  social media.

‘That was a close friend who we have shared and gone through many tough times,’ he clarified. He said the photo was taken while the two were in Zanzibar for Christmas holidays.

During last year’s Gay and Lesbian Awards of Kenya (KeGALA), a daily newspaper mentioned that Maina had been nominated and won an award at the event. Maina denies this.

‘I think they expected me to be there. The headlines read that a well known media personality who has been battling gay rumors was present. But I was not. I appreciate the efforts of the organizers to be bold and to recognize the work of activists.’

Reports carried then alleged that Maina attended the event and was awarded.

Maina’s coming out can only be described as ‘surprising’ like CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s revelation he was gay last year.
Maina says he will continue his working as a Radio Presenter and he says nothing can stop him from realizing his dreams.
