Kleptomaniacs is a Kenyan genge group. Kleptomaniacs means habitual thieves. It is made up of Nyashinski (Nyamari Ongegu), Munkiri (Robert Manyasa), Depicto / D.E.P. (Collins Majale).

The members were all in high school at Nairobi School where they composed songs and took part in various competitions and shows.

They became the first ever Kenyan artistes to release a song while still in school and were produced by the famous Ogopa DJs. Their debut single was called 'Freak It' and it was released in 2002. It became a massive success and this spurred them on to come out with 'Maniax Anthem' the next year.

They continued releasing singles, 'Haree', and then 'Tuendelee', which is arguably their biggest hit to date. They released their debut album called 'M4E' (Maniax 4Ever) in 2005. It had these aforementioned singles and other songs like Swing Swing, which became a big hit as well.

Nyashinski went solo and did a couple of tracks but they reunited in 2007 to release another album called Magnetic.
Some of their songs include Psycho, Magnetic, Swing Swing, Haree, Tuendelee, Freak It, Maniax Anthem, etc
