Ben Githae<\/strong> [File, Standard]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2017, he crafted Jubilee\u2019s official campaign song \u2018Tano Tena\u2019, a commissioned release that is said to have earned him millions. A die-hard President Uhuru Kenyatta\u2019s follower, Ben Githae rallied Kenyans behind Uhuru and William Ruto\u2019s re-election. <\/p>\n

When the election was annulled by the Supreme Court, Githae was back at it, with \u2018Wembe ni Ule Ule\u2019. In the song, he urged voters to go back to the polls and vote in the President and his Deputy. <\/p>\n

And come the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) push, Githae shared a snippet of his then-new release on social media, a song dubbed, \u2018Tuungane na BBI\u2019. He praised the report and told fans it would guarantee peace. <\/p>\n

During a recent interview with Pulse, Githae, who often gets trolled for campaigning openly for the President, said he has no apology to make to anyone who thinks otherwise adding that his choices are guided by a clear conscience. <\/p>\n

\u201cI saw Kenyans trolling me the other day after I was captured in a picture with the ODM leader Raila Odinga and businessman SK Macharia. Some were saying that I have moved to support Baba, but what they didn\u2019t know was the context of our meeting. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut I am now used to trolls. I have lived with the notion that I can be trolled anytime and even trend for negative reasons so that does not bother me anymore,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I am a staunch supporter of Uhuru, if he says I support Raila, I will do so. If I am your friend, I can\u2019t just wake up one morning and betray you for nothing. Even if people call you a witch and expect me to join you and claim you are a witch and as a friend you have never bewitched me, if they say you are a thief and I have never seen you stealing, I won\u2019t believe them and so I will make my personal choices depending on what I believe and not what people think,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n

And now, Githae is leading the team of artistes in the Azimio campaign as a real kingpin. <\/p>\n
