“Bahati Is Waiting For A Reply” King Kaka Urges The President
Kenyan celebrities are increasingly becoming involved in society issues and actively pushing the social and political agenda not just in their works but on various personal platforms and day to day activities.
Whether it is getting involves in pushing for the welfare of various underprivileged groups in the society, questioning various authorities’ actions as well as supporting the public’s general cause, most celebrities are no longer sitting aloof and it is a good thing. Early this week Bahati put the president on the spot over the poor state of this country’s systems to cater for cancer suffering patients with special emphasis to the children.
His fellow musician Rabbit aka King Kaka has echoed the sentiments not only calling for the president to respond to Bahati’s statement but also highlighting noble projects many of the elite people in the country, a number who got their wealth unscrupulously could do.
It may seem a like a drop in the ocean but these continued efforts by the celebrities add to the push for more consciousness amongs the masses of their power, rights and need to question actions of their leaders. It also provides an alternative voice for the downtrodden to get their views heard.
Here is King Kaka’s message
KING’S SPEECH 2
Tukiwa wadogo kulikuwa na kipindi flani inaitwa Robin Hood, I don’t know kama mnaikumbuka. KTN Friday 8 usiku siwezi sahau. Apart from the fights and the language I loved the show sababu ya what Robin Hood used to do. Steal from the Rich and give to the poor and not just the rich but wale wameAcquire pesa yao through uwizi, a thief stealing from a thief. Anyway I will tell you why that is important now. A couple of days ago my Brother ‘ Bahati @bahatikenya put up a post on social networks addressing the President I hope ameipata and I will quote part of the letter “KNH is the only hope to Us but Our dedicated Doctors & Nurses lack treatment resources. Mr President our Parents are tired of Helplessly waiting to burry their Kids. Our Biggest National Hospital ( KNH) has less than 3 Cancer Treatment machines which serve over 2000 patients.Meaning a Patient Can spend almost 2 years waiting for their turn to go through the Chemotherapy Machine! About 60 people die every Month”
No one understands cancer, and I wish there was a cure for it but, just But there is a way we can face it head on. Our country is ranked top 3 most corrupt na Ni ukweli hatuwezi Kata, at najua kesho news kutakuwa na story ingine ya pesa zimeibwa kama sio NYS, Kuna Euro, sijui Kuna…. And why I brought up that Robin Hood Story is coz. As much as we know our politicians are corrupt and they steal (1 pen 8,000 really), I have a challenge for them. Why don’t wakutane kisiri vile tu haukutana na this time round do something positive. Ile Pesa wameiba wagawe wanunue nazo atleast 5 machines annually, 5 only na sio lazima waseme Ni hao wamenunua, coz we have accepted wameiba already. BE OUR ROBIN HOODS and bring positive change from Corruption. Kenyans are suffering sana while you have vacations in France, It’s So Painful, very painful, yaani tunawaomba pesa mmetuibia . Be Our Robbin Hood.
