Eunita Kokeyo, Akothee's mother, has told that Akothee's musical gift is an inheritance from her father during the singer's book launch party.
"I want to tell you that Esther has inherited music from the father. The father is a musician and a proper musician who went to school with the music. So, when I see Esther in the music industry, I can confidently say she has taken it from the father," she said.
Speaking highly of her daughter, Eunita did not shy to publicly applaud her daughter for her achievements and urged her to keep setting an example for all the ladies.
"Thank you very much my daughter. Just have courage and don't be emotional all the time. Esther you are doing wonders. You are teaching women and even men. There are some people who do not know what they are doing in this world. You must be an example to them. Esther is doing so many things that make me happy and proud," she added.
Eunita also said she is now being recognised in the streets thanks to her daughter's fame.
"Nowadays when I am walking, people always come to me and ask 'are you the mother of Akothee? I say yes, how do you know? They tell me we saw you talking at Akothee's function. This is a proud moment. Let us educate children and nurture everybody," she said.
Akothee hosted family and friends at a glamorous event to celebrate the release of her self-authored book. Speaking at the event, Akothee's ex-husband Jared praised her and acknowledged that their ups and downs had cemented their relationship.
"I want to thank you Esther for giving us this opportunity to share a glimpse of the gems that is in you. They say people hide a lot of precious things in books. So, we want to see some of the beautiful things that are hidden from the experiences that you have shared. I have had a beautiful experience with Esther. We've had our ups and downs and we've cemented them down and now we are raising up on the ups," he said.
The other guests included PLO Lumumba, Ezekiel Mutua, Betty Kyallo, J Blessing, The Kabu's, and The Wa Jesus family.
