For the better part of Thursday afternoon, hawk-eyed Kenyans on social media piled massive pressure on Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho and Suna East Member of Parliament Junet Mohammed to reveal the identity of the owner of a female handbag which appeared in a photos which they posted moments before liftoff to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in a lavish Airbus A318 private jet.
The two firebrand politicians were on their way to visit the ailing ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga who recently underwent a corrective nerve surgery at a top German facility in the foreign nation.
In pictures shared on Twitter, the two were seen in a private jet as they sat side by side, with snacks and fruits in front of them.
Also inside the mid-sized super jet the two were riding in was an unmissable brownish leather-looking bag which was strategically placed under the table, next to where Junet Mohammed was seated.
In an attempt to unmask the mysterious lady behind the handbag, infamous “Twitter Detectives” began digging through multiple random photos of Kenyan women carrying different brown handbags and shared them out for comparison.
At some point, Hassan Joho’s ex-clande Betty Kyallo was wrongfully profiled as the owner of the bag, due to its striking resemblance with a different leather purse-bag which the recently sacked TV Presenter once showed off in an old photo presently circulating online.

This was, however, later confirmed to be untrue, as Dennis Okari’s baby mama quickly responded through an Instagram video, confirming that she is currently in Kenya, and not in Dubai as presumed by the online community.

With Betty’s name off the list of suspected socialites who might have hopped on the jet with Joho and Junet, detectives switched focus and dug even deeper.
Within no time, fresh reports emerged suggesting the mysterious handbag owner to be curvaceous city Vlogger Natalie Tewa.
This was attributed to a screengrab shared out by her fellow popular YouTuber Edgar Obare, in which one of his followers confessed in confidentiality that she had personally witnessed Natalie Tewa alongside Joho and Junet at the airport earlier today.
Immediately after the first submission, another of Edgar’s followers noted that she had seen both Natalie Tewa and Hassan Joho at a popular seafood joint in Mombasa just a few days ago.
Even before the authenticity of these claims were confirmed, Junet Mohammed on Thursday evening complicated the puzzle even further, after he posted yet another photo on Twitter, captioned “Arrived Safely in Dubai”.
Posing next to him was the Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho, the jet’s captain and next to them towards the left were two caucasian ladies with one of them holding the now-controversial brown handbag.

A majority of netizen’s have decrypted Junet’s post as a botched attempt at diverting attention from both Betty and Natalie by trying to force the impression that the handbag belonged to one of the two flight-attendant-looking caucasian women and not some struggling bimbo from Nairobi.
So, what’s the real identity of this mysterious woman who accompanied Junet and Joho to Dubai?
As things stand, the truth is nobody really knows.
But based on the witness confessions shared by Vlogger-turned-Blogger Edgar Obare, there is an exponentially high possibility that the mysterious lady might have been Natalie Tewa.
Unlike Betty, Natalie is yet to neither confirm nor deny the reports quickly spreading like a wildfire on social media.
Earlier this year, rumours claimed that the bootilicious city influencer had found love in yet another photographer, Sam Muchai, months after the social media queen went through a nasty break up with her former Ugandan boyfriend photographer Moses Mukiibi alias Rnaze.
Besides the questioning surrounding the ownership of the said bag, both Joho and Junet appeared to be living large aboard the flight which boasts comfortable leather seats and an array of eateries.
As for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s health, last week, in a video shared by his youngest daughter Winnie Odinga, the veteran politician rubbished rumours of ill-health, saying he was recovering well before his return to the country.
His family had earlier on said the former Prime Minister underwent surgery to for a nerve disorder on his foot.
