The politician was also in the photo, and the happy family were all smiles. The family has exhibited strong family ties.
2. Governor Mwangaza during son's graduation

3. Governor Mwangaza's son Timothy chilling
The young chap, Timothy, has proved that he is not photogenic. Pictures of him on the internet are scarce, and it seems he prefers a low-key life.
In the snap, he looked calm and chill in what appeared to be a hotel. He also rocked dark shades.
4. Timothy's graduation
The young man looked sharp during his graduation. His parents might have been the proudest folks on that particular day.
Unlike his previous graduation photo, this was clearer, and according to Kenyans.co.ke, he graduated from Pan Africa Christian University (PAC) in July 2023.

How Daniel Muthiani went missing
As reported earlier, Sniper's wife, Irene Kawira, said the political activist and blogger left their Kabuiti home on December 2 at 8:30pm after he received a call from an acquaintance suggesting a meeting with him at an address he did not disclose.
Kawira said she did not call him that night until the following day. However, her efforts to reach him were thwarted as his phone was switched off.
His brother revealed that the officers did not provide any updates on the progress of the search, leading them to approach the county police commander, Cunningham Suiyanka, for assistance.
