Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya, has fulfilled his promise to provide Stevo Simple Boy with a house.
Salasya met with Simple Boy after reports emerged that the up-and-coming rapper was facing financial difficulties and had even severed ties with his management.
After their meeting at Serena Hotel, Salasya announced his intention to secure a house for the rapper, covering the expenses for at least three months. He also expressed his desire to support Simple Boy in achieving financial independence.
"On Monday, you will have a new home. I will find a house for you in Nairobi and cover the rent for at least three months.
"I want you to be independent, manage your own finances, and organize your own shows," Salasya stated during their encounter on Monday, July 3.

In order to support Simple Boy and his wife, Salasya offered to sponsor her on a three-month hairdressing course. He also committed to assisting her in establishing a business.
Additionally, Simple Boy will enroll in a course that will enable him to sustain himself financially.
"I have convinced Simple Boy's wife to join a three-month hairdressing and beauty course, which I will cover. I will also help her set up a salon as a long-term solution.
"I have advised Simple Boy to pursue any refresher course that I will also undertake so that music can become a side hustle for him in the future," Salasya explained.
