Nairobi — Azimio-One Kenya coalition running mate Martha Karua has been featured in a song dubbed 'Heko Mama' that celebrates the strides Kenya has made.
The song 'Heko Mama' attributes the selection of Karua as Raila Odinga's running mate to a symbol that the country's democracy is maturing.
The song which is a campaign tool for Karua describes Kenya as a woman.
In the video, Odinga is captured during the moment when he officially announced Karua as his running mate during a function held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) grounds.
The musical tune that brings together artistes such as Fena Gitu, Grace Mwai, Sally Wisdom and Jecinta compared the country to a woman whose time had come.
Comedian Joe Nyokabi who thrilled the social media for mimicking Karua in his comedies in 'harooo!Assimio!' viral video was also featured.
