Musician and social justice advocate Julius Owino popularly known as Juliani has denied reports that he has been appointed as the Director of Entertainment in Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party.

In a statement on Tuesday, 10th May Juliani said that he had not received any official communication on the alleged appointment.

He stated that he is not affiliated with any political party, coalition, or alliance.

“It has been brought to my attention that there is information circulating online about my appointment as Director of Entertainment in the Azimio – OKA Coalition,” read part of the statement.

“I would like to clarify that this has not been communicated to me formally or otherwise. Therefore I would like to confirm that I am not employed or affiliated with any political party in Kenya or beyond.”

He however stated that he is willing to join hands with like-minded partners including political parties that have a clear manifesto and agenda that “primarily focuses on sustainable youth empowerment initiatives.”

“The above doesn’t give me the luxury of distancing myself from issues of governance, particularly in an election year. I am willing to join hands with like-minded partners including political parties that have a clear manifesto and agenda focusing primarily on sustainable youth empowerment initiatives,” the musician noted.

Juliani further urged Kenyans not to be blinded by handouts but instead use wisdom to elect leaders who will transform their lives.

“I would like to urge my fellow Kenyans to use wisdom and vote for leaders who will bring change and avoid falling into the trap of being blinded by handouts. I would also like to discourage politicians from using our youth for their own selfish gains,” he said.

“To my fans and to all Kenyans I say thank you for the love you have shown me. I appreciate it and may God bless you.”

Reports on the alleged appointment of Juliani to the Raila Odinga-led Azimio coalition emerged on Monday, 9th May after Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua ditched the coalition and joined Deputy President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
