Renowned preacher and philanthropist Prophet Charles Motondo has raised alarm over the use of nicknames like “Kasongo” for President William Ruto, warning that such labels might invite a curse upon the nation. According to the prophet, mocking a leader anointed by God disrespects divine authority.
Prophet Motondo’s Concerns
Prophet Motondo emphasized the importance of respecting leaders, citing biblical teachings that warn against cursing those appointed by God.
“Calling the president funny names undermines God’s authority,” Motondo asserted during his visit to Kenya. He added that mocking President Ruto with nicknames such as “Kasongo” disregards the sacred role he believes the president holds.
However, the preacher acknowledged that while citizens have valid frustrations with governance, their grievances should be addressed respectfully and constructively.
A Call for National Reflection
The prophet also turned the spotlight on societal challenges, pointing out that corruption extends beyond the government to churches and communities.
“Accountability is needed in all sectors,” he said, urging Kenyans to reflect on their values while maintaining reverence for their leaders.
Motondo encouraged President Ruto to listen empathetically to citizens’ concerns and take decisive action to improve their lives.
Motondo’s Charitable Works
Prophet Charles Motondo is widely recognized for his spiritual leadership and humanitarian efforts, including aiding widows, orphans, and vulnerable communities. His ministry spans multiple countries, and he serves as a presidential advisor in Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
During his Kenyan visit, Motondo expressed feeling divinely guided to minister to both government officials and church leaders, extending hope to those in need.
President Ruto Embraces the ‘Kasongo’ Nickname
Despite Prophet Motondo’s warning, President William Ruto has taken a lighthearted approach to the nickname “Kasongo.”
Speaking at the burial of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula’s mother in Bungoma County, Ruto called the moniker “good,” referencing the popular song “Kasongo” by Super Orchestra Mazembe that inspired the name.
“Hiyo Kasongo ni sawa, ni wimbo mzuri,” Ruto said, signaling that he sees no offense in the playful reference.
He also referenced another nickname, “Zakayo,” a biblical figure, encouraging Kenyans to embrace virtues associated with the character.
The “Kasongo” Phenomenon
The nickname “Kasongo” has gained traction on social media, becoming both a humorous and symbolic expression of political sentiments. Memes and posts have depicted President Ruto in various scenarios linked to contentious policies, further fueling online discussions.
While the nickname has amused many, Prophet Motondo’s cautionary message reminds Kenyans of the importance of respect in public discourse, particularly when it comes to leaders.
