Jakababa's social life

Despite delivering tough speeches at Bunge La Wananchi gatherings, Jakababa also knows how to have fun, and his lively personality shines through in his TikTok videos.

One particular video shows him enjoying a night out at a club, dancing with his partner as the crowd cheers him on.

His videos reflect a person who embraces life to the fullest, unafraid to share moments of joy and dance moves with his audience, regardless of the style.

Who played a major role in Jakababa's political arena in Bunge La Wananchi?

Bunge La Wananchi has been vocal in its criticism of Kenyan leaders whom they perceive to be neglecting their responsibilities, often accusing them of being idle or asleep on the job.

The movement is particularly critical of certain government policies, especially those related to taxes and other implementations.

Nuru Okanga is undeniably one of the prominent figures in Bunge La Wananchi, being one of the founders of the people's parliament alongside Gaucho.

It is no secret that Okanga played a significant role in establishing Jakababa's presence and influence in the political scene, especially in connecting with the youth.

Initially, during the inception of Bunge La Wananchi, only Gaucho and Nuru Okanga addressed the people, but later, Jakababa was also given the opportunity to do so.

Nowadays, the two are frequently seen together, and they seem to share a strong bond.

Jakababa even visited Okanga's rural home, and he recorded a video to express gratitude to Okanga's mother for the warm welcome.

Both Jakababa and Okanga are known for delivering speeches that leave people in stitches, showcasing their ability to entertain while engaging with the public.

Jakababa's life after fame

When Jakababa first started gaining online attention, many of his videos were used as memes by people on the internet.

However, as time went on, he became a household name, especially among the youth, and people started taking him more seriously despite the humorous nature of his videos.

When it comes to travelling, Jakababa now frequently flies to Kisumu, and he enjoys documenting his journeys with videos on his TikTok account.

The charges brought against him alleged that he made a shocking request to Raila Odinga, urging him to import firearms from Russia to facilitate a planned invasion of the State House by his supporters.

According to the court proceedings, on May 9, 2023, during a public gathering at an undisclosed location within Kenya, Jakababa was accused of using offensive, threatening, and provocative language with the intention of disrupting peace.

Jakababa was later released on bail, and he expressed his gratitude to Azimio leader Raila Odinga and lawyer Danstan Omari for facilitating his release.
