GOSPEL ACTS SPREAD THE LOVE WITH PRISON BEDS

A number of gospel artistes joined Mavuno Church in a hand over ceremony at the Industrial Area Prison proceeds of which came from last month’s Love Festival concert in which American singer Kirk Franklin headlined.
The church believes Kenyan Prisons are places that are essentially supposed to be centres of rehabilitations and restoration but in reality, they are places with appalling living conditions and overcrowding. They aim to bring some semblance of humanity as regards the prisoners sleeping conditions. Thus they decided to equip the Industrial Area Remand Prison with beds for all the prisoners. This initiative was supported by various acts who also entertained the prisoners on October 18 including Kanjii, Chit Chat and Mavuno Worship Project.

KIRK FRANKLIN SKIPPED CHARITY WORK WHILE IN NAIROBI

American gospel singer Kirk Franklin who is scheduled to perform a one off show at last Saturday’s Spread The Love Festival at the Carnivore.
The September singer would skip the charity work because he was in the country because part of the festival. “He arrived from Uganda - after a concert at the Nakivubo Stadium - on Saturday morning enroute to Japan where he will headline a Billboard Live concert in Osaka on September 15,” Michelle Kwambo the PR rep of the festival said.
The festival aims to raise money to buy prison beds to the industrial area prison, which has a capacity of 3,000 male prisoners.
