Wednesday, May 28, 2025 - Mugithi singer and police officer, Samuel Muchoki Ndirangu popularly known as Samidoh, faces possible disciplinary action after chanting "Wantam" during a recent live performance.
"Wantam," a slang term derived from "one
term," is widely used by critics of President William Ruto to suggest he
should serve only one term and go home in 2027.
Samidoh reportedly chanted the phrase after a section of the
crowd heckled him over his recent visit to Deputy President Kithure Kindiki’s
Karen residence, accusing him of aligning with Government policies.
According to credible sources, senior officers within the
National Police Service (NPS) have since transferred Samidoh from the Central
Region Police Headquarters to the Administration Police’s Anti-Stock Theft Unit
(ASTU) in Gilgil.
NPS regulations bar officers from engaging in political
activity and require them to maintain strict neutrality and loyalty to the Government.
Samidoh’s conduct is seen as a breach of the Service
Standing Orders (SSO).
He now faces disciplinary proceedings, which could result in
penalties ranging from a warning to dismissal from service.
