Musician Otile Brown shares opinion on musicians joining politics

Kenyan singer Otile Brown has revealed reasons why he cannot get into politics as many creatives have in the recent past

Speaking to Mpasho Live, the singer said everyone had the freedom to do what made them happy adding that everyone went into the political space with their goals and reasons.

“Everybody is free to do what makes them happy, to some people it’s a calling, to some its business and to some its an exit plan,” Otile said.

Otile noted that he could make a great leader but did not want to get the pressure the legislatures get once they ascend to office adding that people are not very serious about change.

“I would make good leader but sometimes our people scare us they don’t care about the good leaders anymore, its just like in music, some people are not paying attention to good music anymore, people are not ready for change everyone is self centred,” Otile pointed out.
