Kenyan artists will one day be treated the same as artists from other countries. The Saturday event this time surpassed all expectations and is definitely going to surpass their Sunday one. You know why? Because we Kenyan artists have worked our asses off to finally get Kenyans

Ethic through a series of Twitter posts claimed that the security guards injured one of the group members whose picture is posted with him donning torn clothes.

Ethic entertainment have demanded that they be treated equally as Kenyan artists as they too had worked hard to get the support that they currently enjoy.
Kenyans on Twitter have condemned the Ill treatment of the artists but have asked Koroga festival and K9 security to give their side of the story.
The Music group have said that they will seek legal redress and compensation for their medical expenses.

The recent sackings at Capital FM (including that of the acting CEO and other key figures) were because of the fraud the individual staff members committed at #KorogaFestival.
Millions were lost in the scheme.
The mess witnessed yesterday might be stemming from the fight. pic.twitter.com/eTfJgOePWt
