Below are messages from Kenyan celebrities.

Fridah Mwaka

Media personality Fridah Mwaka opened her heart to fans with an eloquent post honouring her father, the original “Mr. Mwaka.” She described him as the man whose prayers have built a hedge around her.

Fridah shared a touching tribute to her father, accompanied by a heartfelt image of the two together.

“The name #Mwaka…

The name that’s taken over the airwaves 

The name that has danced through people’s souls and echoed in living rooms across the country.

Yes, the name you hear on TV, the one that signs off News bulletins with power and grace.

“Niite Fridah Mwaka Nitaitika” 

But allow me to introduce you to the original Mr. Mwaka himself.

My father 

The man whose prayers have built a hedge around me.

The man whose joy is not in my spotlight, but in my strength.

The one who has cheered me on with a quiet, consistent pride that no camera could ever capture.

When you see me take the stage with confidence, know this: I saw it first in him.

I watched him lead with presence, with wisdom, and with so much heart.

He didn’t just raise a daughter he raised a voice, a light, a woman who knows who she is because her father saw her before the world ever did!!

Dad, your love is my anchor.

Your laughter is my favorite melody.

Your strength, my secret fuel.

Today, I don’t just celebrate you… I celebrate the man behind the name.

My forever hero.

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy. 😍

You are, and always will be, the heartbeat behind #Mwaka – TheVoiceToReckon”
