Her moves which included throwing her legs wide open, with two of her dancers holding each apart didn’t augur well with a section of netizens who felt she was being too explicit. The video and pictures got the attention of the KFCB CEO who strongly rebuked her terming her moves “filthy and stupid stunts she has to pull to remain relevant”.
“Kenya has got talent but as long as we keep celebrating this kind of madness, our entertainment industry will never grow. Akothee is talented but the filthy and stupids stunts she has to pull to remain relevant should concern all of us.

Further she said it’s not Akothee’s duty to teach children morals. “It is not her duty to teach our children, it’s our duty as parents to teach our children. She is a single mother, she inspires a lot of people,” the legislator said. “She didn’t do it in a school compound, she didn’t do it for under age children.”
On his part, the KFCB boss affirmed that he has no apologies to make. “It’s not about controlling what or killing creativity it’s about societies setting a moral threshold on how they want to behave. To that extent we have no apologies whatsoever, Esther can say what she wants, Akothee can say what she wants but as long as it’s in public performance. That kind of nonsense is stage play.”Akothee has since replied to Dr Mutua’s remarks saying Kenyans should let her be.
