Johnson Sakaja, the governor of Nairobi, who is renowned for living a peaceful and relaxed lifestyle, has astonished many by admitting his love for the Kenyan entertainment sector. Despite having extensive experience in politics, Sakaja stated his respect for content producers, notably Eddie Butita and Crazy Kennar, whom he regards as his top two favourite performers.
These comedians undoubtedly contributed significantly to the development of Kenya's entertainment industry, and Sakaja thinks they merit the accolades they get. Interestingly, politicians have previously praised Eddie Butita and Crazy Kennar's abilities. President William Ruto has once lauded Eddie Butita and jokingly claimed that the comedian probably makes more money than he does.
Additionally, while William Ruto was serving as vice president, Crazy Kennar included Ruto in one of his comedic endeavours in the past. Before entering politics, Governor Sakaja dabbled in rap music and formed strong bonds with current Kenyan celebrities like Nyashinski and Sauti Sol, who are still his allies today.
