In a public drama that has gripped Kenyan social media, Kikuyu gospel singer and philanthropist Karangu Muraya’s attempt at reconciling with his estranged wife, Triza Mamake Muraya, has been met with a firm and final rejection. Triza’s blunt four-word response, “IT’S NULL AND VOID !!!”, posted on her social media platforms, has gone viral signaling a clear and unapologetic dismissal of her husband’s plea.
Karangu Muraya had earlier taken to Facebook to post a lengthy and emotional apology, expressing regret for the breakdown of their marriage and asking for forgiveness. The heartfelt post, which detailed his remorse and desire to mend their relationship, was seen by many as a public step towards reconciliation.
However, Triza’s response left no room for interpretation. Her refusal, delivered with finality and exclamation, has been widely shared and discussed, with many commending her for standing her ground.
The couple’s marital troubles had already been making headlines, especially after the leak of a private audio recording. In the recording, Karangu was allegedly heard speaking disparagingly about his wife to one of her close friends, including humiliating remarks about her wearing “worn-out inner garments.” The conversation ignited outrage, with many questioning Karangu’s respect for his wife and the sanctity of their marriage.
Triza had earlier reacted to the audio leak by expressing shock and disappointment, calling for the full conversation to be released to the public. In a show of solidarity, Esther Baumbach, the friend involved in the conversation, later issued a public apology to Triza, acknowledging her role in the hurtful exchange and admitting that she should not have echoed such disrespect.
The unfolding saga has sparked a broader conversation online about dignity, respect in marriage, and the boundaries of public apologies. While Karangu’s followers had hoped for reconciliation, Triza’s succinct dismissal has made her stance unequivocally clear: some wounds require more than just words to heal and some apologies, no matter how public, may simply come too late.
