Published on December 18, 2019, King Kaka's spoken word piece, Wajinga Nyinyi, has sparked a heated debate in Kenya. Octopizzo, a prominent figure in the Kenyan music scene, has responded to the controversy, sharing his thoughts on the matter.
Octopizzo agrees with King Kaka's sentiments on the Kenyan government, stating that apathy has led to the country's current state. He also highlights the role of politicians in funding campaigns to discourage people from voting.
Henry Ohanga, also known as Octopizzo, emphasizes the importance of voting and encourages people to take action. He quotes the famous phrase, 'If you gaze long enough into an abyss, it will gaze back into you,' to drive home the point that power does not corrupt, but fear of loss of power does.
However, Octopizzo differs with King Kaka on the approach to addressing the issues. He believes that instead of seeking a louder voice, people should focus on giving directions and options. He emphasizes that the loudest voice does not always lead to change, and that people should focus on taking concrete actions rather than just screaming or crying.
