Are Kenyan unpatriotic for Mapangale Challenge?
According to Bichachi, there is a serious disconnect between Kenyans and the government.
During his riveting sit-down on Power And Politics with George Maringa, Kenyans and the youth are using art and online spaces to express their pain.
Consequently, Bichachi, stated the pain Kenyans are displaying is due to the governments inability to understand the daily Kenyan economic struggle.
In his view, “the hearts and emotions of the Kenyan people have been removed from their government” Bichachi stated.
Quintessentially, “what is being felt by Arnold and other is not unpatriotism, it is pain.” Bichachi highlighted.
Bichachi continued, “It is such a deep pain, that I was saddened to see young people now doing a dance called Mapangale where they put their hands on each others necks pretending to be cutting each others necks. It is a sign of depression.“

Additionally, he also highlighted the stable price of maize flour which is a political staple Kenyan food at the heart of the Kenyan dinner table.
However, he was not shy to highlight that the healthcare reform introducing the Social Healthcare Authority, SHA was a “pain point” for many Kenyans.
