Singer and Philanthropist Expresses Surprise Over Sudden Cancellation

Esther Akoth, widely known as Akothee in the entertainment world, has opened up about her disappointment after her invitation to headline a talent show at Ng’iya Girls was unexpectedly canceled. The popular singer and mother of five received a message from the school administration informing her of the event's cancellation due to disagreements between the school and the local Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) diocese in the area.

In response to the cancellation, Akothee expressed her gratitude to the school's principal, Madam Helen, for the invitation and promised to continue supporting the school in the future. She commended the school for its efforts to uplift souls through the new foundation within the institution.

Addressing concerns from some online users who speculated that her absence was due to objections from a section of the school's alumni, Akothee clarified that the primary reason for the cancellation was the disagreement between the school and the local church authority.

Initially invited as the keynote speaker at the talent show, Akothee's presence was intended to inspire and motivate upcoming singers at the school. However, the news of her appearance elicited mixed reactions, with some supporting her as a successful female artist capable of providing valuable insights, while others voiced opposition, considering her presence inappropriate for young girls.

The controversy surrounding her appearance eventually led Akothee to delete the announcement post from all her social media platforms. Despite the setback, she remains committed to supporting initiatives that positively impact society and expressed her appreciation for the love and faith shown by the school's principal.

As Akothee navigates the disappointment of the canceled invitation, her loyal fans and supporters continue to rally behind her, acknowledging her philanthropic efforts and musical talent.
