Sensational singer Akothee has finally addressed the controversy surrounding the cancellation of her talk at Ng'iya Girls due to claims of her not being a good role model for the girls.
"Thank you very much Madam Helen, may The Almighty bless your heart,"
"I met you in Sinyolo Girls and you stole my heart with your kindness, you made my work of admitting the less fortunate easy, even though I was late. Thank you very much for helping me support the vulnerable, you saw it fit to help you walk the journey of the underprivileged, but there is a way the universe works for us. Ngiya Girls High school is now on the map, known globally, even those who didn't know Ngiya Girls, now they know. I really appreciate the love and faith you have for me. I will still support any course that will leave a positive impact to our society," Akothee said.

Mrs Hellen Juma, the school's principal, had invited Akothee to speak to the girls and inspire them as they pursue education, only for the church that owns the institution to object and cancel the visit.
The news spread quickly on social media, and Kenyans spent most of Sunday debating Akothee, with differing perspectives coming from all directions.
While some felt Akothee should have been allowed to address the girls, others praised the decision to bar her, claiming she does not represent the ideal model of a lady who has worked her way up the success ladder.
According to the church, Akothee has been contentious on her way up, and the girls need someone more deserving to speak to them and motivate them.
Akothee has spoken out about the incident, saying that the church prevented her from visiting the school.
She praised Mrs Juma on social media for believing in her and allowing her to address the schoolgirls. Simultaneously, she asked the church to continue praying for sinners and guiding them to salvation.
