Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked Mugithi singer Samuel Muchoki better known as Samidoh to take charge of his family matters.
Gachagua call came a month after nominated senator Karen Nyamu, who was in a controversial relationship with Samidoh, engaged in a confrontation with the musician and his wife, Edday Nderitu, at a Dubai nightclub.
In a light comment today, the Deputy President said it was embarrassing for the trio to engage in an altercation, especially in a foreign country.
Gachagua, who was speaking during the burial of Pauline Nyokabi, sister to Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria, warned that Samidoh who doubles as an administration police officer, would be punished if he did not put his house in order.
“Wewe Samidoh ni rafiki yangu, na unajua vile tunakupenda na nyimbo zako lakini kuna pahali unatuangusha kidogo. (Samidoh is a good friend of mine and we love his songs but he is causing us embarrassment.),” said the Deputy President.
He added; “Samidoh needs to control his people because as the African proverb says ‘an elephant never tires carrying its tusks’.”
“We will discipline you. We will not allow you to go overseas or we will limit you to going alone,” said Gachagua amid laughter from mourners.
On December 16, 2022, a video of an altercation between Samidoh, his wife Nderitu and Nyamu surfaced online. In the video, the drama began when Nyamu was taken off stage during the artist’s live performance.
