Nine major Kenyan artistes came together late last year to wage a campaign against corruption. The song was in line with Kenya's National Anti-Corruption Campaign Steering Committee (NACCSC). The musicians include Nameless, Carol Atemi, Wahu, Nyota Ndogo, Jimwat, Mr. Lenny, Wyre, Suzanne Owiyo and Jua Cali. The song was produced by HomeBoyz Entertainment Limited (aka Homeboyz Produkshizzle). 'Simama' is believed to be the largest collaboration amongst Kenyan musicians. This is a very laudable effort and more is encouraged.
Simama means 'stand up'.

The song has nine subtitles from each artiste and are in various languages. The Swahili subtitles are Ongea (Talk), Umechoka (You are tired), Eish Bwana (Ei Man!), Ufisadi (corruption). Kom means chair in Dholuo, another subtitle. English subtitles include a dream for all Kenyans rejecting bribes and Better way. Other subtitles include Karatasi (paper in Swahili), Sitoi (don't remove).
