During the 2017 election campaigns, Jubilee supporters taunted their rivals with the popular ‘Tano Tena’ slogan and even composed songs praising President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto. The 'Tano Tena' catchphrase gained traction as the Jubilee duo wooed Kenyan voters to re-elect them and complete the work they had started in 2013. Gospel musician Ben Githae composed the song Tano Tena, praising UhuRuto. Twitter user Kaberia wa Kaberia said, “This song by Githae was a curse for this country". “During Kibaki’s government people were happy because they could see what was delivered but unfortunately for UhuRuto, the difference is clear."
