Meet Musician Emmy Kosgei’s Father Who Is A Nominated MP In Kenya

His name is Jackson Kipkemboi Kosgei. He is nominated by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as an MP representing people with disabilities. He is the father to the gospel artist Emmy Kosgei.However, while aged 20, Kosgei resolved that he had to live a purposeful life behind his disability. He decided to enroll for primary school education while focusing on being useful to family, church and the community.

After completing his primary education, he joined Kabarnet Boys High School then proceeded to Pan African University to study Education, Social Sciences and Theology. Kosgei’s strong Christian faith forced him to be an active church member serving in the choir. He later on became a clergyman and bishop of the Worldwide Gospel Church of Kenya and retired to join politics.

In 2013, Kosgei contested the Baringo County senate seat on a United Republican Party (URP) but lost to Gideon Moi. In 2022, he also had eyes on the same seat but lost.Fortunately, Kosgei was nominated to the National Assembly to represent persons with disability by the UDA party.
