What Dave Chappelle not meeting Ruto might mean for Kenya
Njugush also went on to warn the Kenyan creative industry on the possible reason Chappelle’s visit was kept low-key and how that might portent for future investment.
Let’s not forget that Dave didn’t interact with the Kenyan government in contrast to what he did in Rwanda where he met with the president.
“My main issue is how we do things as a country because if you look at what happened in Rwanda, Chappelle went there and he met the president and they talked. In Kenya, even his arrival was not announced.
That tells you something about us as a country. Let alone content creation. There are times when people want to invest here but they are not allowed.
They end up running away and investing in another country. My main concern is how we as a country deal with potential investments.”
