G Rongi Matigari a Kenyan artiste affiliated with Ukoo Flani Mau Mau movement is stranded in France and wants the government to bail him out.
He has been in France for more than five months and has been trying to renew his passport with no luck.
In a video clip posted on his Facebook, G Rongi Matigari said his planned trips to Sarajevo and Bangkok are in jeopardy following the predicament.
“They treat me like garbage since I started asking for the passport. The other day, they told me to come with an affidavit, after five months?” he asked saying that he is a Kenyan who deserves respect like any other person.
Showing a receipt he was issued with for the renewal of his passport, Matigari said he needs his business to run and advance his career.
He said he had applied for the renewal of the passport on January 25, 2016, but the delays have been too much.
Meanwhile, his situation is trending on Twitter with sympathisers posting messages with the #IstandwithGrongi hashtag.
