At a music concert held at Ndumberi Stadium in Kiambu County on Sunday afternoon, Amani Sasa Foundation Chairman Maina Njenga stole the show.
Initially planned as a live music show, the event quickly took an intriguing turn with the arrival of notable political figures like Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa, and former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu—three key players whose recent alliances hint at ambitions to form a new opposition alliance.
A charged atmosphere surrounding the presence of the former Laikipia senatorial aspirant soon transformed the gathering into more than just a cultural celebration.
He then took the stage and delivered poignant remarks that appeared to resonate deeply with the crowd, a sizable portion of whom were young people keenly attuned to the political undercurrents, especially surrounding the controversial impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Halfway through his address, Maina Njenga asserted that the Akamba community is related to the Mount Kenya people and further asserted that the Luhya community is also closely associated with them.
The leaders present also hinted at upcoming gatherings and meetings to provide a platform for discussing the community’s direction and the nation’s future, given the ongoing political turbulence.
As the event continued, the organizers and attendees took a moment to celebrate former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s 63rd birthday, marking the occasion with ceremonial cake-cutting, applause, and heartfelt well wishes for the former head of state.
