Outspoken politician Francis Gaitho has voiced his robust opinions on comedian Churchill, also known as Daniel Ndambuki, and the influence of his comedy shows on the local talent and cultural scene in Nairobi.
Francis Gaitho fearlessly refers to Comedian Churchill as a "counterfeit comedian." He accuses Churchill of carrying low-grade comedy shows from Mbooni in Ukambani to Nairobi and using his platform to promote what Gaitho considers to be bogus gospel music and other low-vibrational genres.
The statement takes a harsh view of local talent in Nairobi, claiming that it has gone "down the drain" due to the influence of Churchill's comedy shows. Gaitho specifically criticizes the inclusion of what he terms "bogus comedians" in Churchill's shows, alleging that these comedians focus on ethnic tropes as their main theme, perpetuating stereotypes based on ethnicity.

Gaitho extends his criticism to corporates, accusing them of being populated by "uncreative rural-bred retards" who financially support Churchill. He suggests that the financial support from corporates is, in reality, suppressing urban culture. This argument implies that the corporates are not investing in or supporting more creative and urban-centric forms of entertainment.
The statement then references Jalang'o, a popular media personality, who Gaitho accuses of threatening to kill Gengetone, a music sub-genre. Gaitho questions Jalang'o's authority to make such statements and suggests that individuals with rural backgrounds should "lay low in the city," claiming that the urban population has tolerated their influence for too long.
Concluding his statement, Gaitho encourages the audience to refrain from supporting brands linked to what he considers low-grade marketing campaigns that feature influencers with rural accents. He emphasizes that the economic influence resides in Nairobi and suggests that boycotting such brands could serve as a form of resistance against what he perceives as culturally regressive influences.
In summary, Francis Gaitho's statement offers robust criticism of comedian Churchill, linking him to the deterioration of local talent and culture in Nairobi. Gaitho accuses corporations of stifling urban culture by endorsing Churchill. The statement also raises concerns about Jalang'o's remarks and advocates for a boycott of brands affiliated with what Gaitho deems culturally inappropriate marketing.
