Clemo Responds To Clay Muganda’s Claim That Sheng Is ‘Useless and Vile’

Yesterday, the Daily Nation’s writer Clay Muganda claimed in an article that sheng is ‘useless and vile.’ In summary, Clay said that:

– There is this wrong notion that sheng signifies a tribe-less Kenya, and is therefore good for national integration because those who use it do not have exhibit ethnic traits, but tribe and language (of communication) are two different things and one can learn the latter
– After politicians, sheng tops the list of all the most useless things to have come out of Kenya. Even if we laud it from atop the tallest building, it will never add value to our lives and will only continue to show how confused we are
– Truth be written, sheng has no commercial value, is vile, despicable, uncouth, impolite and Kenya as a nation will never benefit from it in any way

Now Clemo, who is known for being the lead producer and owner of Calif Records, understandably took offence to Clay Muganda’s position, seeing that Calif produces artists who’s main dialect of choice is the sheng which is supposedly ‘useless and vile.’  In response to that, Clemo said:

“This should probably be the most useless article/opinion nimesoma in a while.  Sheng is here to stay. Ukikuja kwangu for an interview lazima pia ujue sheng kiasi.”
