Akothee and her daughter Rue Baby led a delegation to the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports and Arts to meet Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba.
The controversial singer gave the Sports CS a copy of her book ‘Akothee Quotes’.
In a post on social media, Akothee revealed the list of things she discussed with Namwamba.
The singer said she told the CS how musicians had no one to protect them or speak on their behalf in regard to their plights.
