Kenyan musician KRG, Don has disclosed his intention to vie for a political seat in the next general election, revealing that he wants to serve as an MP.
Hosted by Betty Kyallo on TV47’s This Friday with Betty, the Maambo Imechemka shared his ambitions, noting that he has a clear plan to get him where he wants to be.
He however remained guarded on the constituency he is eyeing, explaining that declaring the same as early as now could see the constituents overwhelm him with calls and requests for assistance.
“I want to start with MP. I don’t want to disclose. I don’t want people to panic saa hii. You know when people hear Bughaa anataka Mp, and then also sitaki kutoa pesa ya matanga. So if I declare it is a certain place, na hao watu wa mahali hio wako na number yangu, sasa they will make it my personal business.”
“Of course. I normally tell people there is no a rich man who is stupid. They always know what they are doing. It’s only that they cannot tell you exactly that this is the agenda because you see it’s a puzzle, you have to know from this year, to next year I’m gonna be doing this. Then from next year to the other year I’m gonna be doing this.” Explained the musician.
