Interior Cabinet Secretary recently hosted controversial gospel musician at his office following a dramatic online appeal that attracted widespread public attention. The meeting came shortly after the singer shared a viral video in which he covered himself in mud while urging political leaders to respond to his calls.
Sharing photos from the meeting on social media, Murkomen emphasized the importance of supporting Kenya’s creative industry. He stated that sectors such as music, comedy, and digital content creation continue to provide employment opportunities for thousands of young people across the country. According to the Interior CS, artists also contribute significantly to shaping public conversations and promoting positive social values.
The visit followed the circulation of a bizarre video posted by Embarambamba, whose real name is Christopher Nyangwara Mosioma. In the clip, the 38-year-old musician is seen lying in thick mud while dressed in a suit, passionately appealing to several leaders to answer his phone calls and hear his concerns.
During the emotional appeal, the singer directly mentioned Murkomen and former Kisii Governor . He also called on to assist him in reaching the Interior Cabinet Secretary. His unusual presentation and energetic delivery quickly made the video one of the most discussed topics on Kenyan social media platforms.
The stunt generated mixed reactions online. While some Kenyans praised the artist’s creativity and determination to attract attention, others criticized the act, arguing that it was a publicity stunt designed to trend online and gain sympathy from influential leaders. Some viewers also expressed concern about the possible health risks associated with lying in mud for extended periods.
Despite the criticism, the viral moment successfully placed Embarambamba back in the national spotlight. Known for his energetic dance routines, humorous gospel songs, and unpredictable performances, the singer has built a reputation for creating unconventional content that sparks debate among fans and critics alike.
During their meeting, Murkomen praised the musician’s creativity and encouraged young artists to use their talents responsibly while pursuing opportunities for growth in the entertainment industry.
