Essy Wa Willy Demands Payment Following State House Invitation by Karang’u Muraya

Kenyan musician and influencer Essy Wa Willy has publicly spoken out about her recent visit to State House Nairobi. She was part of a group of Akorino musicians and elders who attended a service at State House, facilitated by Karang’u Muraya. Essy claims she was promised a token of appreciation for attending, but received only KSh 3,000 instead of the KSh 10,000 previously approved by former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua. Gachagua had instructed the musicians not to board transport without first receiving the promised payment. Essy highlighted on social media that she had contacted Gachagua before the event to confirm arrangements. The situation sparked reactions online, with some netizens supporting her call for proper payment, while others debated personal responsibility and the politics involved. Meanwhile, Karang’u Muraya also drew attention by sharing a message from the Holy Spirit during the event, predicting President Ruto would rule for ten years, which created mixed reactions among the public. The incident underscores ongoing issues with event management and accountability in celebrity and political engagements in Kenya.
