The producer, who was the force behind Calif Records at the start of the millennium, worked with various local artistes including Jua Cali, Flexx and Nonini and he is the brains behind 'Beat ya Clemo' that took over the airwaves for years.
According to Speaker Ken Ng'ondi, vetting will take place on December 22, 2022, and the reports will be tabled for approval.
