Akothee Pens Emotional Open Letter To Sister Cebbie Koks, Seeking Family Peace

Celebrated Kenyan singer and businesswoman Akothee has publicly reached out to her sister, Elseba Awuor Kokeyo, also known as Cebbie Koks, through a deeply personal open letter shared on social media. The letter aims to mend their strained relationship and restore family harmony.

In her candid message, Akothee revealed years of hidden pain and her journey towards forgiveness. Despite presenting a strong and joyful front, she admitted to silently carrying emotional wounds inflicted by someone very close to her – her own sister.

“There are wounds I’ve nursed for years, quietly. Wounds I covered with smiles, laughter, and silence all in the name of love, family, and peace,” she wrote.

Akothee explained that instead of confronting Cebbie directly when the alleged betrayal occurred, she chose to welcome her back without demanding accountability or an apology. This silence, however, took a toll on her mental well-being. She painfully reflected;

“I stood alone, battling narratives I never wrote, while you, my own blood, watched, spoke, and walked away,” referencing public disputes and negative sentiments reportedly spread by Cebbie.

Fame’s Impact on Sisterhood

The mother of five also pondered how their relationship shifted after she introduced Cebbie to the public eye. She believes the world of fame negatively impacted their bond. “I introduced you to a world of fame you were never prepared for, and sadly, you let that world shape how you saw me, your sister,” Akothee lamented. She added that while many criticized her, the most hurtful words came from her sister, whom she considered both a sibling and a friend.

Despite the difficulties, Akothee emphasized her unwavering love for her sister, describing Cebbie as a “rebellious child who had lost her way in the noise of applause.”

Choosing Forgiveness for Personal Peace

Akothee made it clear that her decision to forgive her sister was not prompted by an apology or remorse from Cebbie, but rather by her own need for healing. “It’s taken me years of silence, of deep self-work, and painful maturity to understand what forgiveness truly means. It is not weakness, it is power,” she asserted.

She concluded her powerful letter by stating;

“Yes, I have forgiven you, Elseba. Not because you asked. Not because you publicly corrected the damage. But because I deserve peace.”
