ODM MP Makes Special Request to Bahati After the Musician Claims He Has More Money Than Kenyan MPs

Alego Usonga MP Sam Atandi has joined the public conversation surrounding musician Kevin Bahati’s claims about his financial standing, making a request that has attracted attention online.

In a social media post on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the ODM lawmaker expressed interest in receiving financial support from the singer and asked how he could contact him.

Atandi referred to Bahati as a gentleman and openly indicated that he would welcome assistance from the musician.

“I would like to be supported by this gentleman. How do I get hold of him?” the MP stated.

His remarks followed Bahati’s appearance on an interview hosted by content creator Oga Obinna, during which the musician made bold claims about his wealth.

Bahati said he was certain he had more money than Mumias East MP Peter Salasya. He also claimed that his financial position was strong enough to allow him to pay some sitting lawmakers.

“Mimi niko sure nina pesa nyingi kuliko MP Peter Salasya. Najua kuna MPs ambao naweza kuwalipa,” he said.

The singer further explained that his interest in joining Parliament was not primarily about earning a legislator’s salary or enjoying parliamentary benefits.

Instead, he said his political ambitions were driven by a desire to improve the lives of Kenyans.

Bahati has already indicated that he intends to contest the Mathare parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Election.

The planned bid would mark another attempt to enter elective politics after his 2022 campaign for the same constituency. He eventually stepped aside during political negotiations.

Atandi’s response has added a new dimension to the discussion, turning Bahati’s comments about his finances into an exchange involving a sitting MP.

The musician’s wealth claims and political ambitions have continued to draw public attention as the country approaches the 2027 elections.
