Former Sol Generation artist Crystal Asige has broken her silence after she was nominated to the senate yesterday in the special seat category.

Crystal was listed among ODM's proposed nominees to Parliament.

In a statement issued today on her Instagram page, Asige stated that it was a great honour to be proposed to represent persons with disability in the Senate.

The singer went on to thank the ODM party leader Raila Odinga, for choosing young person to represent her community.

Asige went on to congratulate her counterpart Nickson Ochieng' who was also nominated to represent persons living with disabilities in parliament. 

"This week Hon. Raila Odinga chose to leave no Kenyan behind - no matter their ability or disability. I consider this Senate nomination by Baba and ODM to be an honour and count this as a win for the communities I represent," she wrote.

Asige added that the nomination was a win for women in society.

"A win for Persons with Disabilities, a win for women, and a win for the youth in Kenya.  I also extend my appreciation to my fellow nominee, Nickson Ochieng’ for the immense contribution he continues to make for the PWD community."

Asige rose to fame as the first female on the premium label, Sol Generation in 2019. She later fell out with Sauti Sol but under unclear circumstances.

"I am incredibly grateful to my lifelong support system, from family, friends, and to my #Wafuasi who have never ceased to believe in me," she said at the time her departure was announced.

"God makes me smile every time He reminds me that hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny. Always by Faith not by sight, Crystal Asige," she finished.
