The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC ) on Friday appointed Alessandro Olocho famously known as Madocho Mjamo to be its ambassador.
Madocho was seen in the press conference yesterday with other government officials .
NCIC chairman Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia conveyed that Madocho’s appointment will be key in spreading a message of peace to all youths and especially those living in the slums even as the August 9 General Election draws nearer.
The member of Gotta City artists collective took the opportunity to preach peace and rally the youth to be conscious of their words, on a day when the NCIC banned 21 words and phrases now considered hate speech.
“My message to the youth out there is to stay away from crime and negative energy. Be positive-minded. Let us not use bad words during the election period,” Madocho urged the youths .
Incase you didn’t know of Madocho wa Kanairo here is how he came to limelight;
He gained popularity through a viral video that was a response to the musical boy band Mbogi Genje. He accused them of stealing his style, flow and lyrics of his unreleased song.
In the video, he was addressing the fact that he was betrayed by his close friends and he needed them to come to the ghetto and try to have a civilized conversation.
In early 2021, Madocho left the Gotta City management team in the grounds of frequent underations from the bosses. This could probably be due to the fact that he wants to pursue a career in radio and music at the same time.
Before his appointment Madocho was focusing on his music and entertaining his fans as well as spreading good vibes.
