Kimani Turacco, a musician from Kiambu has hit out at Governor Ferdinand Waititu following his remarks on the ongoing demolition of structures on riparian land in Nairobi.
Turacco last week set the internet ablaze once again after releasing another controversial track dubbed "Muici ni muici" which loosely translates to: "A thief is a thief".
The artist made headlines last month after releasing the "Hatuna Deni, Kitaeleweka" song, which loosely translates to 'We owe no one any debt, we must end this', in which he urged Central Kenya voters not to support Deputy President's William Ruto's 2022 bid.
The new song, "Muici ni muici", sends a strong message to President Uhuru Kenyatta, urging him to intensify his war on impunity and corruption in the country.
The song also hits out at Governor Waititu who last week opposed the demolition of buildings on riparian land, arguing that the move was causing massive losses to investors.
"What am seeing...if there are people supporting the ongoing demolition of buildings, I personally don't support it. Let them investigate and find out if your house is close to the river, then you should be told it is your responsibility (house owner) to make sure that the river is moved a bit. Otherwise, demolishing houses is not a solution, honestly speaking, it is such a big loss," said Waititu.
Turacco criticised Waititu's proposal, saying the idea is of no value to the environment.
"Did I hear others say rivers to be relocated instead of demolishing? Nonsense. Water is life," says Turacco in the song.
The controversial musician further urged Kenyatta to scrutinise how the Kiambu County government is run, considering it is the Head of State's home county.
