Kenyan musician Kelvin Bahati has finally explained the purpose of his controversial November 6 event, which many kenyans had expected to be his long-waited wedding celebration with his wife, Diana Marua. The singer has now revealed how much money was raised during the event and why he chose to organise it.
Speaking during an interview on November 11, Bahati explained that the event was part of a strategy to attract public attention ahead of his political ambitionsin Mathare. He said the wedding theme helped generate widespread discussion, allowing him to reach a larger audience.
Bahati explained that the money was intended for his Bahati Cares initiative, which he said focuses on helping vurnerable families and individuals. He maintained that the event was organised around a social cause rather than simply raising money for personal use.
The musician also addressed his plans to contest the Mathare parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Election. He explained that the event provided an opportunity to introduce his political ambitions to a wider audience while attracting attention to his charitable initiative.
Bahati's latest remarks have added another dimension to the discussion surrounding the event. While he has explained his intentions and the amount he says was raised, questions may still remain among kenyans about how the initiative will benefit the intended recipients. His political journey in Mathare will also be one to watch as the 2027 General Election approaches.
