Tanzanian gospel superstar Christina Shusho is back with a new song, ‘Zakayo’ that is already showing signs of going viral in Kenya.
Titled Zakayo after Zacchaeus the tax collector from Luke chapter 19 in the Bible, Ms Shusho teased the song’s release on social media on 22 April 2024.
Sang in Swahili (and loosely translated in English), she sings, “There was once a man named Zakayo, a senior tax collector and a wealthy man. He sought to know what kind of man Jesus was, but he wasn’t able to because…”
The song has already received thousands of reactions on social media, although the release date has not yet been announced.
However, Kenyans are already having a field day with the title alone – “begging” Ms Shusho to use President William Ruto’s pictures as the song’s cover.

This is because President Ruto is infamously nicknamed Zakayo for introducing a new wave of taxes and increasing existing ones.
Since he took power, the cost of living in Kenya has become unbearable for those living below the poverty line.
Commodities such as fuel and petroleum products, electricity, food, and the cost of public transport have increased significantly. Taxes have also affected the cost of housing, education, and health as bills continue to rise.
“I don’t care if people call me names. I will continue to do what is right for our country regardless of the names people call me, including Zakayo,” said President Ruto, acknowledging his infamous nickname.
