In a statement that he shared in social media groups, the Enda Nasi hitmaker revealed that he will be announcing his presidential bid soon.
“Kenya is in a bad place and if we do not courageously challenge the rot we are in at the moment, we will have ourselves to blame and future generations will not forgive us for letting them down.”
“Tough times require tough decisions and mine is such. I will be announcing my bid soon,” Kigame said.
Kigame who is also a pastor and a person living with a disability said that his agenda will be based on ‘Reset Kenya’ and ‘Make Kenya Great Again’.
