Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria to Bail Out Infamous 'Ikamba' Song Artiste

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has offered to bail out one of the infamous 'Ikamba' song artiste, who was earlier this week charged with ethnic contempt.

“Njau will not sleep in the cell tonight. My lawyer is already working on the bail out. I also want to say it here that Njau is not among the two artistes behind that song. He is just an extra who is filmed picking a mango from a wheelbarrow,” said Kuria.

The musician, John Gichiri Njau is currently being detained at Industrial Area Remand Prison, after he was unable to raise a cash bail of Sh700,000 granted to him by the court. He was charged with three counts of ethnic contempt.

Lines of the song suggested that the Kamba community will eat dogs and wild birds due to starvation, when the mango season is over.

The song was released following a disputed charcoal ban in Kitui, which led to war of words between Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his Kitui counterpart Charity Ngilu when a lorry owned by a Kiambu businessman was burnt by irate youth in Mwingi for transporting charcoal from the area.
