Gospel singer and 2027 presidential aspirant Reuben Kigame has laid down clear instructions that he wants to be followed upon his demise.

While urging Kenyans to embrace supporting people in their lifetime as opposed to pouring in resources to fund a funeral, Kigame noted that those who fail to support him while he is still breathing should not waste their time paying glowing tributes.
“Let’s support each other when we are still alive. We need to change our priorities as Kenyans when it comes to life and death,” he said.
Kigame rejects expensive casket & clothes from those ignoring him
He cautioned people against ignoring his music and his presidential bid, which are both anchored in values, noting that those who fail to support him inhis lifetime have no business telling crowds how great his ideas were.
“Don’t hate and ignore me today when I am still breathing and fighting for the rights of citizens, and then fight to make a speech at my funeral.
“If you cannot fund my music career by paying my royalties or support me as a Presidential aspirant promoting Utu, Haki na Maadili today, don’t waste time telling crowds at my funeral how these were great ideas and do not buy me an expensive casket or clothes to honour a dead body,” he added.
Kigame, who has set his eyes on the country’s top seat in the 2027 presidential election, has been a fierce advocate of good governance anchored in values.
Kigame warns Kenyans about tribal alliance
He has also been warning against the formation of tribal alliances while rooting for national unity, as was the case on November 11, 2025, when he urged Kenyans to rewrite the script in the 2027 elections.
“We need to take a closer look at what brings political players together. Most coalitions being formed are about two or three tribes sharing government appointments and resources. The negotiations are already on,” Kigame said.
“Vote for such coalitions at your own risk. They will loot the country and oppress you like all previous governments. Open your eyes and your mind and use character to get your next government,” he emphasised,” he warned.
