Title of Christina Shusho's upcoming new song excites Kenyans
Christina Shusho's announcement of her upcoming song 'Zakayo' has stirred excitement among Kenyans.
The Tanzanian songstress has ignited anticipation among Kenyan music enthusiasts with her revelation of her forthcoming project on online platforms.
Shusho has once again captured the attention of the Kenyan music community with this highly anticipated release.
Some Kenyan fans speculate that the song will strike a chord with audiences and could potentially become another chart-topper from the 'Shusha Nyavu' hitmaker.
Moreover, some users associate the song's title with current events, particularly discussions surrounding taxation in Kenya and the nickname that Kenya's 5th president William Ruto has been given by some online.
The title 'Zakayo' carries significant cultural and biblical symbolism, drawing parallels to the story of Zacchaeus, the tax collector whose encounter with Jesus transformed his life.
Zacchaeus's well-known story has made some perceive Ruto as a modern-day Zakayo and derisively attach that nickname to him.
Embracing this, President Ruto has amusingly embraced it, defending his unwavering commitment to national advancement despite facing criticism.
In February 2024, during a visit to Tokyo, President Ruto addressed the nickname, stating that he doesn't mind being called 'Zakayo'.
Ruto stressed that his decisions are guided by ensuring Kenya's prosperity and fiscal responsibility, asserting that the country's development should rely on its resources rather than external assistance or accruing debt.
"I don't mind being called names like 'Zakayo' because when you're doing the right thing, your conscience is clear. I will continue to prioritize the nation's interests regardless of the labels, including 'Zakayo'," Ruto affirmed.
In July 2023, speaking at an event in Murang'a County, Ruto shrugged off the 'Zakayo' moniker, affirming his dedication to improving the lives of Kenyans and bolstering revenue for national operations.
