Mulee insists Namwamba’s previous incumbents did not do a good job in charge of the Sports Ministry, adding that he has done a tremendous job in his one year in charge.
Meanwhile, during the interview, the Kenyan journalist asked Evra how he makes content that is relatable to the audience and he answered by saying: “It’s difficult to say because that’s why I always say I can’t answer to that.
"This is not what drives me…I think you just have to be yourself, be passionate about what you are doing, and discipline. I think discipline in life is very important.
"And do it, not for yourself, do it for the people, and trust me that will be amazing content and that’s what I’m doing.”
The former Juventus full-back also emphasized that people need to be authentic and not force themselves to be like others. He added that they should embrace being happy with whatever they are doing and practice selfishness sometimes.
Madowo also observed that the former footballer is now more famous than he was during his prime days as a player.
“I created a positive monster but the thing is people knew me as a player but now I put myself out there as an individual.
