Rose Muhando's New Song Praising Uhuru Kenyatta ¶
On September 24, 2019, gospel singer Rose Muhando released a new song, dedicating it to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In the song, Muhando expresses her gratitude to Kenyans for welcoming her with open arms and showing her kindness when she was unwell.
She sings, "Mlifungua milango yenu na kunikaribisha kwa mikono yenu miwili. Kwa hakika Kenya ilinonesha neema,"
"Sijui jinsi ambavyo ninaweza kuwalipa kwa upendo wenu kwa kuwa mimi si tajiri lakini naomba Mungu aibariki Kenya,"
Muhando, who has been in Kenya for some time, faced numerous challenges that threatened to derail her music career.
She was banned from performing in Tanzania in November 2018 by the Union of Musicians of Tanzania (TAMUFO) due to health issues.
However, she has since recovered and released a new song, collaborating with a local artist.
It is worth noting that Muhando was seen being evicted from a church in Nairobi in a viral video, with allegations of drug abuse and attempted abortion.
