Dancehall artist KRG The Don has finally explained why he chose to stand with President William Ruto on the 2024 Finance Bill.
Speaking in an interview with 2Mbili, KRG explained that the reason he was supporting the 2024 Finance Bill was because the Bill was going to make sure that the country pays the debt that the country owes other nations, despite it coming with a lot of weight.
“That’s why mimi nilikua na support hii kwa sababu nilikua naona tutateseka for another year, but after that, tutakua tumelipa madeni mingi.” KRG said.
He went on to explain further that he was not at all advocating for people to march on the streets because there were loss of lives and a lot of vandalism and that was happening in the name of peaceful protests.
“Sikuona kulikua na haja ya kumwaga damu kwa sababu maisha ni kitu yenye huwezi recover hata na pesa ngapi. Wachana na hawo walikua wanasema walikua tayari kukufa mimi siwezi peleka mtoto wa mtu akufie kitu yoyote kwa hii nchi wacha hata uongozi haikua imefika hiyo level ya watu kujipeleka kujitoa uhai hata kama maisha imekua ngumu aje.” KRG said.
On the issue of being confronted by Kenyans, KRG also admitted that he has received quite a number of messages and phone calls from the public ever since the numbers leaked online but only grateful that he was not insulted unlike many thought he would.
“Salamu zenyu nazo nimezipokea sana….na zilikua nzuri zingine…lakini mimi ni mtu wa watu, wote wenye walinipigia wakisikia ni Bughaa walikua wanafurahia kabisaa…tunapiga story hiyo mambo walikua wanasema aty nitukanwe hakuna mtu alinitukana if that’s what maybe people expected… I was just receiving many phone calls.” KRG said.
