Waiguru Threatens to Sue Singer King Kaka over ‘Wajinga Nyinyi’ Song, Gives Him 48 Hours to Delete it
Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has threatened to sue Kenyan rapper Kennedy Ombima, alias King Kaka, if he fails to delete his latest song ‘Wajinga Nyinyi’, which went viral after release on Saturday.
In a demand letter through lawyer Paul Kiragu Wathuta, Waiguru accused singer Kaka of making allegations that have led to the gross misrepresentation of facts and deliberate mischaracterization of her conduct.
She added that the song contains malicious and reckless claims about her, citing the following lyrics: “Ati Waiguru ako kwa office na story ya NYS tulishasahau, Biro moja alibuy 8 thao, biro tunanunuanga mbao Either sisi ndio wajinga ama ako na marking scheme ya Accau…”
“You know or ought to have known our client is a national leader who has served Kenya in senior capacities and was duly elected by the people of Kirinyaga County on her merits and that such lyrics have greatly lowered the regard and esteem in which our client is held by right-thinking members of the public of Kenya and abroad and not to mention in the eyes of the numerous persons with whom she interacts in the course of her public duties as the Governor of Kirinyaga as well as her other public and private life,” read the letter.
“You know or ought to have known that despite extensive investigations and several prosecutions in relation to the loss of funds at NYS, our client has never been charged in a court of law as an accused person in relation to the NYS or any other scandal.”
Waiguru, who stated she was cleared of any wrongdoing in the NYS scandal, gave Kaka 48 hours to issue an apology to her, pull down the song from all social media platforms permanently and commit in writing not to release any further defamatory songs against her, failure to which she will take a legal action against the musician.
“To the best of our client’s knowledge, you have never recorded any statement with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations or the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission regarding the allegations that you have made…” added the letter.
