“I like how His Excellency Matiang’i dances… His dance moves are goated!” Salasya wrote.
His remarks came after an undated video surfaced online showing Matiang’i dancing to a popular Gusii song during a function attended by several leaders.
In the clip, the former Interior CS is seen confidently showing off his dance moves alongside Kisii Governor Simba Arati and Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka as the leaders joined in the celebrations while the crowd cheered them on.

Matiang’i’s dance moves
This is not the first time Matiang’i has attracted public attention for his dance moves. During his appearances at cultural celebrations, thanksgiving ceremonies and community events, videos of him dancing have frequently gone viral on social media.

Many Kenyans have praised his confidence and willingness to participate in traditional songs and dances, particularly during events in the Gusii region.
His dance performances have often generated thousands of reactions online, with social media users describing his moves as energetic and authentic. Supporters have said the videos portray him as approachable and connected to his roots, while others have shared the clips purely for entertainment.
