Tanzanian gospel musician Faustin Munishi also known as Malebo has accused Azimio La Umoja of using his song without his consent.
The Malebo hitmaker through his Facebook account recounted how he discovered that his song was used by the Azimio La Umoja team.
“Mtumie wimbo wangu bila idhini yangu, Nikilalamika mnanitusi? Is this what AZIMIO LA UMOJA STANDS FOR? Natumai ningepata maelezo kwa nini mtumie wimbo wangu? Wimbo wa Injili mnaugeuza kuwa wa siasa kisha mnautumia kushambulia wapinzani wenu?Inaonyesha jinsi mnavyodharau Injili na watumishi wa Mungu nami nikiwa mmoja wao.”Reads the Facebook post.
Munishi’s song dubbed ‘Manabii wa Uongo’was used to mock the Kenya Kwanza presidential candidate and his running mat
He further stated that in his Facebook account that “Mrengo wa Azimio unaoongozwa na Raila walotumia wimbo wangu bila idhini yangu.Nipeni ushauri wa kisheria wanilipe fidia. Kama Raila ataenda Mahakamani kudai Kaibiwa kura, naomba atoe zile kura alizopata kwa sababu ya kutumia wimbo wangu bila idhini yangu. Naomba wakili yeyote Kenya anipe ushauri wa kisheria jinsi ya kudai haki zangu toka kwa Mrengo wa Azimio unaoongozwa na Raila.”
He further accuses Raila of using his other song without his approval.
Munishi stated in a Facebook post “Siyo wimbo huo tu, Raila hutumia wimbo mwingine wangu usemao kanyeshewa simba usidhani ni paka, ukifanya makosa utararuliwa. Japo kwa sasa Simba naona amenyeshewa mvua ya mawe, sijui kama manyoya yake simba yatasimama tena arudishe umbo la simba. Yote Tisa la kumi nawataka mrengo wa Azimio warudishe kura zote walizopata kwa sababu ya kutumia nyimbo zangu bila idhini yangu wazirudishe IEBC. NIKO SERIOUS.” end of his post.
