The song went viral recently due to a rendition by Ugandan pastor Aloysius Bugingo, and has since been widely used.

Ruto, who acknowledged being nicknamed Kasongo, was infused into Sina Kamosa by Les Wanyika.

In the original song by the band, made up of Kenyan and Tanzanian members, they sing about someone wanting to kill them over a woman.

"Yule si wako, nami si wangu, chuki ya nini kati yangu mimi na wewe? Sina makosa, wantaka kuniua bure..." Les Wanyika sings.

Well, Kenyans changed the lyrics to Kasongo, causing quite an uproar on social media.

"Sina makosa wewe Kasongo... Kenya si yako, wewe Kasongo, chuki ya nini kati yangu mimi na wewe?" the live band sang.

Revellers at the nightclub were seen delightfully dancing to the rendition of the song.

On social media, Kenyans applauded the creativity behind it, with some saying they would sing it during demonstrations. Others warned that the composer and nightclub owner would land in hot water for the song.

"I'm not sure there are more creative people out there than the ones from Kenya. This is a pretty cool way to get the message across."

In other news, earlier this year, Ruto addressed the trend of Kenyans giving him nicknames, including Kasongo and Zakayo. Zakayo was borrowed from the biblical figure Zacchaeus, a tax collector.

The head of state appeared unbothered by the labels, interpreting them as reflections of his political sharpness and leadership style.

Despite their satirical undertones, Ruto used the moment to reinforce his commitment to delivering development and reforms across the country, saying that he was smarter than the people giving him nicknames.

Ruto said that such public attention highlights the impact of his administration.
