The politician trended after an intimate video of a woman circulated on social media with some users alleging that the person in the undated video was her.
Millicent Omanga, Mykhailo Mudryk, George Magoha, Rugby World Cup, Oppenheimer and Higher Education Financing (HEF) Portal lead trends on Google search in Kenya.
Google today revealed its Year in Search 2023 lists for Kenya, offering a glimpse into the interests that captured Kenyans throughout the year.
The top trending local personalities list is topped by Millicent Omanga, a Kenyan businesswoman and politician who trended after an intimate video of a woman circulated on social media with some users alleging that the person in the undated video was her.
Second on the list is Pastor Ezekiel, a Kenyan televangelist and founder of the New Life Prayer Centre and Church who was arrested and his church closed by the government after being linked to the Shakahola Cult massacre.
He was later freed by a Shanzu court after the prosecution said investigations against him had been completed and recommended closure of the case file.
Faith Kipyegon, the three-time world record holder in middle-distance running, also made the list of the top trending searches by Kenyans at number six after she won the World Athletics Championships 1500m and 5000m titles, completing a remarkable distance double and becoming the first woman ever to complete a 1,500-5,000 meters double at the World Championships.
The top trending global personalities in 2023 are a mix of sports stars, political figures, and entertainment personalities.
Mudryk, the Ukrainian footballer, topped the list after his transfer saga that saw Arsenal and Chelsea compete for his signature during the summer transfer season.
Chelsea finally confirmed signing him after hijacking Arsenal's proposed move for the winger in an £87 million transfer.
Second on the list is Declan Rice, an English footballer who joined Arsenal from West Ham in a British record transfer fee of £105 million.
Also on the list is Museveni, the Ugandan president, who signed an anti-LGBTQ+ law with the death penalty for same-sex acts, a move that immediately drew condemnation from many Ugandans as well as widespread international outrage.
