The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has taken issue with Kikuyu musician Muigai wa Njoroge over his latest song 'Ino Migunda', released just a week ago.
On June 26th, 2020, Muigai is required to appear before the commission for questioning over the song, which NCIC claims is a threat to harmonious coexistence between Kenyan communities.
According to a letter signed by NCIC Ag. Commission Secretary Millicent Okatch, Muigai is required to appear at the commission's offices on June 26th, 2020, at 10 am to assist in ongoing investigations.
'Ino Migunda', which translates to 'These Parcels of Land', has gained massive popularity on YouTube, with over 600,000 views, and is currently trending at number one.
In the song, Muigai takes a dig at Kenyan dynasties who inherited huge chunks of land but continue to oppress the poor, saying these parcels will one day be subdivided equally when the oppressed rise against the oppressors.
He also castigates the government over the recent demolition of houses in Kariobangi and Ruai, which left hundreds of families homeless, asking if the demolition was urgent and couldn't have waited.
Additionally, Muigai insinuates that Deputy President William Ruto could be the savior of the oppressed Kenyans, saying he has been poisoned by those who value power more than lives.
