Sadat, who has invested a fortune in a number of gospel artistes, said that his political ambitions will not hinder his efforts to ensure that artistes at his label continue to thrive. As of now, he is vying for the Likuyani, Kakamega parliamentary seat as an independent candidate.
“I might be busy with my campaigns, but this doesn’t in any way interrupt our projects at the label. I will still remain steadfast in ensuring the artistes projects continue undisrupted. If elected, i promise to set at least three recording studios in Likuyani, to tap talents at the grassroots.”
