TRIBUTE OF THE LATE DIANA CHELELE

 
I learnt the death of spoken Kalenjin Female Musician (Diana Chele) whose name was embedded in minds and hearts of thousands of Kenyan people from all the 42 tribes.

Thick dark clouds had covered the Rift valley atmosphere on Saturday 9, 2016 the day will never fade in minds of many. It was very early in the morning when her mutilated body was found lying on verandah of her well ornamented home located approximately 200 metres off Kapkwen market as you head to Olbutyo shopping centre.

My body shivered the vehicle I boarded to Keringet from Olenguruone only to realize from the South Times Whatsap group but I never believed until I confirmed with Kalenjin Musicians Association (KAMUA) director Benard Langat who sent me a press release asking police to speed up the investigation of whoever killed her.

Quickly I reckoned the day she dined with her twin daughters on a table next to mine, the day we shared a joke with her with Martin Kosgey outside Bomet branch Cooperative bank. 

The most traumatizing picture that rang my mind is February 2015 during a fundraising aid of burial ceremony of the late Juniour Koetestes. She stood and chanted with Denis Bett  Kericho-based gospel artist from the look of things where probably shred singing experience.

Without mentioning a lot, Chelele was a young, energetic, humble and caring lady who had future of both her children and her family.

While I worked as a Qtv Camera person in bomet I could frequently saw her shopping for her two children she loved at radiant Supermarket.

After ending her secondary education, the little and beautiful girl started and nourished in Music to established Kalenjin songbird lady who commanded respect from all the corners.

From the10 minutes and 54 seconds audio clip that circulated after your demise, I learn that you fell into hands of a tormenting husband who jeopardized your God-given Music career and troubled you but you have just gone where all of us will be at some day. May your soul rest in peace and God protect and provide for your family and innocent kids so that they be blessing to humanity.

Your song that goes that you hoped to see God someday encourages me and the confession you made in the clip gives me hope that When Jesus Christ comes you will be one of those who will sit with him forever and receive reward for how you used your talent.

To my reader, we are on earth to prepare for eternity. What we do and how we live on earth determines where we will spend our eternity.

We will be asked what we did with JESUS CHRIST who died for us and WHAT WE DID WITH OUR TALENTS.

REST IN PEACE DIANA CHELELE
