Joseph Irungu, also known as Jowie, has surprised many by unveiling a new gospel track titled "Nakuabudu" (I praise you) shortly after being found guilty of the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.
Jowie's expression of gratitude to the Lord shines through the music video which debuted on a Friday afternoon on YouTube. In the song, Jowie sings of everlasting praise to the Lord, finding comfort and guidance in His teachings. Despite his circumstances, he declares his unwavering faith, proclaiming healing and bravery in the presence of God.
The lyrics convey a profound sense of adoration and surrender, resonating with themes of solace and reliance on divine strength. The timing of the song's release, immediately following the High Court's verdict of guilt against Jowie, has garnered attention and sparked conversations online. Some question the appropriateness of releasing such a song amidst ongoing legal proceedings and media scrutiny while others applaud Jowie for maintaining his faith in the face of adversity.
Lady Justice Grace Nzioka's verdict confirms the prosecution's case, concluding that Jowie was indeed responsible for the murder of Monica Kimani in September 2018. Meanwhile, Jacque Maribe has been acquitted of all charges against her while Jowie has had his bond revoked and is now in police custody until March 8, 2024, awaiting his sentence.
