Popular Comedian MC Jessy Joins Politics, to Run for Parliamentary Seat in 2022

Popular Churchill show comedian Jasper Muthomi, alias MC Jessy, has announced his entry into politics.

MC Jessy declared he will run for the South Imenti parliamentary seat in the 2022 general elections after receiving blessings from Meru elders.

In a statement posted on his social media pages, the entertainer said the ceremony took place in his hometown of Meru over the weekend.

“Over the weekend I was grateful and humbled by the Elders that raised me and who are from my Home Constituency of South Imenti when they honored and bestowed on me the blessings and responsibilities to lead South Imenti Constituency as the Member of Parliament,” MC Jessy said.

“Our society must make it right and possible for the Elders not to fear the young or feel deserted by them. The mantle has been passed and each generation must safeguard it and extend it further.”

He went ahead to quote American cultural anthropologist and writer Margret Mead, saying: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

The emcee will be seeking to dethrone Kathuri Murungi, who has served as the MP for South Imenti Constituency since 2013.
