As political temperatures in the country continue to rise ahead of the 2022 general election, several public figures have found themselves wading into the political debate.

The latest celebrity to share his opinion is singer Otile Brown.

Through his instagram page, the Chaguo la Moyo crooner pleaded with Kenyans to choose their leaders wisely and avoid electing leaders based on tribal affilaitions.

"Wakati mwengine sisi wa Africa ndio chanzo cha matatizo yetu...we've suffered for looong because of our own selfish decisions, Kuchagua viongozi kisa ufanatic, mtu wetu na kuhongwa ni ushamba," said the singer.

Adding "Kenya tunaweza ishi kama ulaya na sote tunajua hilo, uwezekano upo...weka hisia zako, mapenzi ya jamii yako na kiburi kando natufanye waamuzi wa akili, mabadiliko yanaanzia kwako wewe mpiga kura, chagua kiongozi wa kweli na wala sio wanabiashara".

Hi sentiments comes just weeks after comedian Eric Omondi endorsed buinessman Jimmy Wanjigi for presidency through his 'Fagia Wote' campaign an issue that saw Kenyans on social media attacking the comedian for his move terming it as selfish insisting that the move was owing to his deep pockets. 

This is not the first that Otile Brown is raising his voice on matters of national interest. Last year, the singer penned a letter to President Uhuru Kenyatta pleading for his intervention in the fight against corruption in the music industry.

He argued that unemployment has pushed the youth to try their hand at different crafts to make ends meet, including music and that it is unacceptable that leaders appointed to oversee the smooth running of the music industry and pay artists their dues have turned greedy and pocketed the monies.
