The main “sponsor” and driving force behind the Kalenjin Music Awards (KMA) is often cited as Hon. Ngong Ngeno Ole Kisiara, MP for Emurua Dikirr, acting as the patron who champions and funds the event, though some sources mention potential collaborations with local businesses like Kipchimatt or media (Chamgei FM, Waldai FM) for marketing, with political figures sometimes involved in supporting the cultural festival.
Key Figures & Entities Involved:
Hon. Ngong Ngeno Ole Kisiara: The primary figure, acting as patron, organizing and funding the large-scale festivals and awards, including branding vehicles (Prados) for the event.
Sebei Nation: Partnered with KMA for the inaugural Sebei Music Awards.
Local Media: Radio stations like Chamgei FM and Waldai FM promote the event.
Business Community: Mentioned as supporters, though specific funding details can be debated in social media discussions.
Nature of Sponsorship:
It’s a blend of political sponsorship (Ngong Ngeno’s initiative) and community-driven cultural promotion.
While some businesses get involved, the main financial backing often comes from the patron, creating a significant cultural and political platform.
