Speaking during the famous Sunday Flea Market, Sammy Kahama, Group Director of Kahama, said the artistes who preformed have been part of their family and have in one way or another impacted the business and have walked the journey together with them.

“The story of K1 cannot be told without recognizing our strong relationship with East African Breweries.
