Fare Thee Well, John
De’Matthew: It’s Time for Peace and Work, not Politics
A
|
s almost everyone may have noticed, some leaders in
Kenya are currently too much into 2022 succession politics, in place of doing
what they were elected to do – delivery of services to their people.
In a bid to counter this dangerous trend, renowned
musician John De’Matthew is working hand in hand with Kameme TV in a campaign
to preach peace and work instead of continual politicking. The 'Peris Nduku' hit maker outlined this
plan when he paid a courtesy call to the Minister for Trade, Tourism,
Investment and Industrialization in Embu County Dr. Jamleck Muturi at his office
on 18 June 2019.
Present in the meeting was the Chief Officer, Youth
Empowerment and Sports, Mr. Sam Wachira, Director of Trade Mr Anthony Zawaya
and Director, Tourism Ms Virginia Warue. Minority Leader in Embu County
Assembly Hon. Lenny Mwaniki (Masters) also graced the occasion. In the
celebrity’s entourage was his manager Mr. John Ndung’u and Ms Esther Nyaga of
Kameme TV

While outlining the noble plan, De’Mathew said that
he, together with ten other renowned musicians are set to hold a mega live
concert at Embu Stadium on 28 July 2019. This will be part of a peace program dubbed 'De'Matthew Mashinani', traversing the whole country. The artistes are expected to not only
perform their best hits but also sensitize the people on the need to focus on
what their leaders are doing in delivering their mandate and promoting peace. The
business community will also be invited to showcase their trade through the
Kenya National Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
In the week before the show to be aired live on Kameme
TV, the media fraternity plans to highlight tourism and investment
opportunities in the county. At the same time, talented youth can expect to
receive support from the celebrity, who has offered to record at least one song
at the state-of-the-art studio established at the Embu Talent Academy. He said
that when he toured the facility accompanied by the government officials. This effort
is expected to steer the people’s attention from politics into work and peace.
