Kalenjin music sensation Millicent Jerotich, popularly known as Marakwet Daughter, was among the artistes who entertained Kenyans during the Mashujaa Day celebrations at Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret.
The singer took to the stage during the national event, performing her latest hit song as top Kalenjin musicians showcased their talent before the gathering.
Her appearance added musical touch to celebrations, which brought together leaders and members of the public to honour Kenya’s heroes and heroines.
Marakwet daughter’s performance came days after she attracted attention online following release of teaser for her new benga song, ‘No Pire Tutam,’ which has generated discussion because of its political message.
In the teaser shared on TikTok on Sunday, October 18, 2026, the artiste appeared dressed in yellow, a colour associated with the UDA party, while dancing to the song’s lively Kalenjin rhythms.
Through the lyrics, Jerotich criticises what she portrays as repeated provocation directed at Pres William Ruto.
She also expresses support for the Head of State’s bid for a second term, making the song part of the ongoing political conversation surrounding his leadership.
Her appearance in Eldoret brought her back into the public spotlight following the online attention surrounding the new release.
The singer has continued to draw interest from fans through her music, which incorporates Kalenjin language and traditional benga influences.
Her latest song has also placed her among artistes whose work intersects with Kenya’s political debate.
Mashujaa Day celebrations provided a national platform for performers to showcase local music and culture, with Kalenjin artistes contributing to the entertainment programme in Eldoret.
