  • She disclosed that her sister disrespected her and failed to apologize

Kenyan musician Akothee recently shared a heartfelt account of the challenging dynamics between her and her siblings, particularly her younger sister, Cebbie Koks.

In an emotional interview with Presenter Ali on Thursday, June 22, Akothee delved into the hurtful events that transpired.

Akothee spoke fondly of her father, highlighting his unwavering support as her number one fan. She emphasized her role in supporting her family, both emotionally and financially, over the years.

However, when she announced her wedding plans, it coincided with her sister’s upcoming wedding, which led to conflicting circumstances.

“When I announced my wedding, my younger sister was having a wedding as well. Omosh wanted to bring cows in December but I told him to wait, we were having another wedding,” Akothee said.

Akothee recounted how she supported her sister’s wedding wholeheartedly by allowing her children to attend the ceremony. However, behind the scenes, tensions simmered, and there were unresolved issues between them.

Akothee explained that her sister crossed certain boundaries, and she expected an apology that never materialized. Consequently, she did not feel welcome at her sister’s wedding.

“That time we had wrangled with my sister, and she’s the one who is always crossing my line, and I expected her to apologize, which never happened. So there was no way I could bring myself to a table I am not invited to,” she said.

According to Akothee, she heard that her sister convinced others that there was no actual wedding and that Akothee had merely sought to overshadow her special day.

“I was waiting for my sister to come and tell me, ‘You know, let’s put our differences aside. I am sorry.’ The only word I was waiting for to make her realize she’s really hurt me to the core… and it would have ended there,” she said.

This manipulation, according to Akothee, caused others to view her unfavourably and tarnished her reputation within the family. Akothee, who says she had always been the unifying force, felt betrayed by this sudden turn of events.

“Everybody saw me as a bad person, and I can remember I was the unifying factor for my family. I’ve been there, I’ve educated them, I’ve supported them, but when it came to me, things started changing,” she said.

Akothee emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions. She urged her fans who have wronged any person to have the courage to apologize sincerely. Akothee firmly believes that a simple act of saying sorry can mend deep wounds and restore harmony.

 

Macharia has since clarified that she was simply doing her job as a journalist and that she did not intend to disrespect Azziad. She said that she had only asked the question about the Talanta Hela Council because she was curious about how it had affected Azziad’s life.
