Singer Akothee Irked by Tags on Posts About Kenyans Suffering in Saudi Arabia
Singer Esther Akoth, alias Akothee, has told Kenyans off for tagging her on social media posts about migrant workers suffering in the Middle East.
Through a social media post, the businesswoman said she was fed up and urged those tagging her to instead report the cases to relevant authorities.
“If you think I can represent you in government si munipe kazi kwanza ndio mnipe majukumu. I didn’t build a brand for you to misuse me, you know the hierarchy of the government, and who is responsible for what,” Akothee stated.
“I don't know why you think I have solutions for you. Did you see me on any ballot boxes? Ever heard me speak about politics? Ever heard me address the government? I will start charging that name.”
The ‘Yakuhusu’ hitmaker has previously fought claims that she traffics Kenyan girls to Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, accusing a section of Kenyans of constantly attacking her and her family.
She stated that she cannot pinpoint where Saudi Arabia is located on the map and that Dubai (UAE) is the only Gulf state she has ever been to.
“I will Google where Saudi Arabia is so I start making trips there, I think I have visited Dubai twice & I don’t even like it myself, looks like there is a lot of money there…I am not the government neither do I have solutions for Kenyans,” Akothee said in a post earlier this month.

Seriously Kenyans, who is Akothee??
Do not blame these women they are desperate and need help and if tagging Akothee is what it takes so be it.The government has turned a deaf ear.They are not chasing clout as for Akothee she needs to chill there is nothing like bad or good publicity when it comes to “celebrities “ she understands the importance of keeping her name in the news aka “relevant “ those you tube views pay her bills not her lousy music.
Kenyans Athothee ni nani?.. She is far from good and not good from far either, sura ya kutisha,lugha chafu ,Kwani Kenyan celebs ni washaddy aje?
So she is a business women. Does the business entail trafficking Kenyen girls to the Arab world?Apparently so,she does not deny the association.She may not know where Saudi Arabia is,but "sell slaves" there through an agency she created is all that is needed.
