Bishop Kiengei intervenes after Kikuyu artistes’ protest over singer 90k Kamso
By Steve Ireri, September 11, 2025Jesus Compassion Ministry [JCM] head pastor Bishop Ben Kiengei has stepped in to resolve a dispute involving Kikuyu artistes and singer 90k Ka Mso, following reports that the musician had not been paid his arrears after performing at a popular Ruiru club.
The intervention came after several artistes, including one-man guitarist Samidoh, staged a late-night presence at the club to demand clarity on the pending payments.
Speaking to the artistes and club owners on Thursday, September 11, 2025, the man of God emphasised that peace can only be achieved after conflicts have cooled.
He urged the artistes to allow 90k Ka Mso to continue his work while they focused on their own performances, stressing the importance of cooperation in sustaining the music industry.
“Peace can only be found after the conflict has ended. Let this young man continue working, and you artistes continue entertaining people and performing. I also thank you for coming over, because your presence has helped settle many issues,” he said.

The bishop noted that the entertainment business is significant and cannot be allowed to fail due to internal disputes.
“We could not have allowed this business to fail. This is a big business, and we cannot let it collapse. Cooperation among you is very important. When you perform, remember that your work belongs to God.”
He also instructed the club management to make a public post clarifying that the dispute had been resolved, ensuring the public is aware that the matter is settled.
Bishop Kiengei described this transparency as vital for maintaining trust and preventing further misunderstandings.
“Regarding this club, I ask that you, the owners, have a consensus and that matters be settled. I preach love, so have mercy on each other.”
Kiengei then praised the artistes for their dedication and unity, highlighting their willingness to support one another even late at night as a powerful example of solidarity.
He linked their collective action to broader societal impact, citing international examples, such as Nepal, where communities have been able to combat corruption and bring positive change by standing together.
“I loved seeing your unity, artistes, that you could spare your sleep and come to support one of your own, even at night. That is very commendable. Even in Nepal, people have been able to redeem their country from corruption because of standing together. Cooperation and solidarity are very powerful,” he added.
Acknowledging that his involvement as a man of God might attract ridicule, Bishop Kiengei said he intervened because the matter started within the club and needed resolution at the source.
He reminded the artistes that their work ultimately belongs to God, encouraging them to maintain mercy, peace, and mutual respect in their interactions.
“I know this is a club and I might face ridicule as a man of God, but the issue started here, and I had to come and resolve it here. If you want to redeem someone from the devil, you have to go there. So maintain peace and let it continue. Love one another.”
