Kenyan rapper and entrepreneur Henry Ohanga, popularly known as Octopizzo, has voiced his concerns about the state of civic education in Kenya.

  • Call for Accountability: Octopizzo uses his platform to challenge the weakening of fundamental rights.

Octopizzo Speaks Out on Democracy

In a powerful message shared on his social media, Octopizzo stated, “I strongly condemn the criminalization of civic education through state kidnappings, as it undermines fundamental rights and weakens our democracy.” Moreover, his words reflect a growing concern that government interference in civic education is threatening the democratic fabric of the nation.

Questioning the opposition’s role

Octopizzo didn’t stop at criticizing the criminalization of civic education. He also questioned whether this erosion of democratic values began when the opposition joined forces with the government, leaving the people without representation. He boldly asked, “Have we abandoned the principles of democracy, or did this begin when the opposition joined forces with the government, leaving the people fcked?” *

This statement captures a sentiment shared by many Kenyans who feel that the merger between opposition leaders and the ruling government has diluted the opposition’s ability to hold the government accountable. As a result, the people, Octopizzo suggests, are left vulnerable and without a strong voice to represent their concerns.
