Content creator and musician Stevo Simple Boy recently declared his ambitions of becoming the MCA for Kibra come 2027.
The “Dragon Moto Testing” was speaking at the Raha Premium launch in Kirinyaga.
Speaking in Kiswahili, the rapper said he would begin his foray into politics with a minor role before aiming for a higher seat.
“Umesema mimi ni balozi mtajika wa raha lakini pia mimi ni kiongozi mtarajiwa wa Kibra. Ninataka kuanza na kiti ndogo tukipanda juu,” he said.
Citing his reasons, Simple boy, who recently launched a foundation to help youth get an education, said seeing the daily struggles of the young people in Kibra was his biggest motivation.
“Vijana wengi hawana kazi na hawajawahi saidiwa na yeyote. Shida nyingine ni bursary. Kuna watu hawajawahi pata bursary na nikiwa kiongozi nitawasaidia kwa iyo sector,” he said.
Despite calling politics a dirty game, the rapper said that if an elected leader did his duty, as is expected, they would solve some problems for the people on the ground – he cited MP Peter Salasya as an inspiration for him.
“Najua politics is a dirty game lakini ukichagua kiongozi ambaye anafaa atafanya kazi. Kwa mfano ni Peter Salasya ambaye ako kwa siasa na anawahudumia watu wake,” he said. “Kuna vitu vingi ambavyo naweza fanya, hakuna mambo ya kulia lia. Huwezi huwa kiongozi umechaguliwa lakini hakuna kazi unafanya. Ni maokoto unakula tu na tumbo kukuwa kubwa.”
