Former President Uhuru Kenyatta Requests UB40’s Song To Celebrate His Birthday

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta celebrated his 62nd birthday on 26th October with a unique request on the D-day.

To spice things up on his birthday, Uhuru shared her sentiments & request via radio .

In an interview with Kameme FM’s Muthoni wa Kirumba, Kenyatta sounded jovial and full of life as he led a singalong of “Happy Birthday.” He expressed his gratitude for the birthday love and prayed for continued good health and peace for Kenya.

When asked to request his favorite song, Kenyatta did not shy away from his love for reggae music.

“Which song by UB40 would you like me to play for you?” the presenter asked Uhuru.

He chose UB40’s “I Got You Babe,” which can be seen as a declaration of love and collective solidarity, especially during difficult times.

UB40 is one of the most popular reggae groups of all time, and their cover of “I Got You Babe” was sampled 20 years after its original release in 1965 by the iconic duo Sonny and Cher.
