How Governments Use Influencers to Push Politics | Willis Raburu Exposes the Strategy

🎙️ In this powerful episode of Fanya Mambo with Sarah Mwangi, media personality Willis Raburu unpacks the growing intersection of politics, creators, and influence in Kenya.

He shares a candid critique of how governments use influencers, celebrities, and artists to push political agendas — sometimes unknowingly — and why young people must stay alert and engaged if they truly want good governance.

💡 Raburu breaks down:

How the government strategically uses artists and popular culture for political gain

The pressure influencers face to support propaganda or lose opportunities

Why youth must register, vote, and demand better from leaders

The importance of diverse political opinions — even unpopular ones

How creators can shape democracy through their platforms

“The pen, the mic, the lens — all tools of power. But who wields them, and for what?”

This episode is a must-watch for creators, voters, and every citizen who believes in truth and transparency.
