Legendary Kalenjin musician Micah Maritim, widely known as Kesit, has been admitted to Sigor Hospital in Bomet, where he has been receiving treatment for the past three days. A video circulating online shows him with his brother Selina Maritim, popularly known as Kimaya Vituko, engaging in a warm conversation about family matters.
Kesit is remembered for his influential songs that shaped Kalenjin music, including Chelemindet, Kechiryet, and Myonwokik. His lyrics often carried profound messages about culture and society. In Myonwokik, he addressed the theme of incurable diseases, with many later noting how his words seemed to foreshadow the coronavirus pandemic.
News of his hospitalization has stirred concern among fans across the Rift Valley and beyond. Many have taken to social platforms to express their support and prayers, praising Kesit as a pioneer who gave voice to Kalenjin identity through music.
His brother Kimaya Vituko, also a well-known artist and entertainer, has remained by his side. The video of the two together has reassured fans that Kesit is surrounded by family during his illness.
For admirers of Kalenjin music, Kesit remains more than an entertainer. His work blended melody with foresight, leaving an enduring cultural legacy. As he continues to receive care at Sigor Hospital, fans remain hopeful for his recovery and grateful for the music that defined a generation.
