It has been repeatedly said that politics is a dirty game and thus not a portion for the faint hearted.
However, local celebrities can't hear any of that.
Early last year, celebrated Disk Jockey (DJ) Kaytrixx, also known as Gakau Kabochi, declared his interest to run for Mikindani MCA seat in Mombasa County.
Perhaps the celebrities are influenced by recent successes of their counterparts such as Tanzania singer Professor Jay who won the Makumi parliamentary seat, and former radio presenter Sabina Chege who is currently Murang'a County Women Representative.
Other celebrities who have declared their interest in politics include entertainer, DJ and musician Cannibal famed for his 'Street Hustler' hit song, Cannibal is contesting for Mtopanga ward MCA seat in Kisauni, after being encouraged by his fans to go for it.
