"When I went to Kiss FM, I worked a little bit with Caroline, and then one day she came and told me that 'I want you to got to State House and interview the President.
"She told me that 'They have called me, but I don't want to go, you go.' So I go to State House, Linda and I, and they give me papers with questions to ask the president," he narrated.

"When I was given an opportunity to ask him a question, I asked about the whereabouts of Ngina (the first daughter) and we became friends," he explained.
After their initial meeting during the interview, the comedian disclosed that their friendship would flourish that he would perform several times for President Uhuru.
"From that day, I was called to perform for him seven times and every time we meet, everyone sticks to their profession. He deals with presidential issues and I do comedy," he added.
Their friendship developed later on to appoint the comedian was asked what he would like to do, to which he answered that he would like to serve the youth. Later on, he was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors at the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA).
