Governor Mandago displays his musical side at conference gala – VIDEO
Delegates attending the third annual devolution conference at the Meru National polytechnic on Thursday night got a thrilling treat as governors took to the dance floor for the second day.
Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago once again did what he does best emerged as the best performer as he danced to the tunes of Emily Chepchumba, a Kalenjin song by Philip Yegon.
On Wednesday evening dinner, the Uasin Gishu governor stole the show as he led other county bosses and guests to take the floor for a jig to Kayamba Africa Music.
While other guests were slow to take the floor as the music climaxed, Governor Mandago came out first before luring other governors into joining him to the floor.
It was a moment full of fun as each guest did their best to outwit each other with dancing moves.
EMOTIVE PERFORMANCE
On Thursday, Mr Mandago who was flanked by Narok Deputy Governor Evelyne Aruaso treated the reveling delegates to seven minutes of emotive performance.
Mr Mandago grabbed the microphones from the event Mcee to take lead of the act and at times paused his captivating lyrics to allow the delegate to join him in the performance.
Following his captivating performance on Wednesday night the delegates who had turned into his fans on Thursday night requested the Mcee to bring the governor on stage as they longed for his great moves.
Other governors who came close to Mr Mandago’s performance are Meru Governor Peter Munya, his Migori counterpart Okoth Obando and Kisumu’s Jack Ranguma with their “chini kwa chini” moves.
Several artistes among them a celebrated Meru artiste Kamanu, Mcee Laingo and others performed during the gala dinner that ended at 1am.
The revelers were served a sumptuous dinner as drinks kept flowing from more than 600 caterers sourced from various institutions in the region.
On Friday night, the delegates and governors will be treated to a grand performance at the closure of the gala that is expected to last till dawn. The guest will also be hosted to a luncheon at Meru Showground.
