#WajingaNyinyi: Governor Waiguru Abandons Plan to Sue Singer King Kaka for Defamation

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru says she will not be taking any legal action against Kenyan rapper Kennedy Ombima, alias King Kaka, for defaming her in his ‘Wajinga Nyinyi’ viral song.

Governor Waiguru said she abandoned her plan to sue King Kaka for defamation after realizing that the singer was desperate for attention and was being used to settle political scores. She cited Kaka’s fake death threats and summon by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

“Having watched the antics of kingkaka in the last couple of days with reports of fake assassination attempts and DCI summons, I recognize that he’s confused, attention-seeking young man. I have therefore made the decision not to proceed with the Kingkaka suit,” Waiguru wrote on her Facebook and Twitter pages.

“It is unfortunate when talented youth are taken advantage of by some politicians and used to settle political scores. As I have chosen on previous occasions of this nature, I will contend with their masters,” added Waiguru.

In a demand letter on Monday, Waiguru threatened to sue King Kaka if he failed to pull down the song and issue an apology within 48 hours. In the lyrics, King Kaka mentioned that Waiguru was still free despite her involvement in the NYS scandal, where a pen was allegedly procured for Sh8,000.

“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…” sings Kaka.

Top lawyers including Ahmednasir Abdullahi, Nelson Havi, Martha Karua and Ekuru Aukot had vowed to defend Kaka if he was taken to court over the song.
