The bill that is set to calibrate Kenyan music industry and place it on a pedestal is about to be tabled in Parliament by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Starehe MP Charles Njagua; who gladly received it yesterday, November 23 from comedian Eric Omondi. The jester’s previous haphazard move saw him arrested for planning a demonstration outside Parliament.<\/p>\n

Plan B Successful<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a few advices here and there, he came up with the bill to counter the ordeal he underwent a week ago. Through Babu Owino and Jaguar, Eric Omondi believes that the ‘play 75% local’ bill will be a success;<\/p>\n

”The “PLAY 75% LOCAL” Bill will be Tabled in PARLIAMENT tomorrow by @jaguarkenya<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0@he.babuowino<\/a> tomorrow!!! The Bill will pass with Flying colours because no MP in their right mind would refuse to vote for a bill that Promotes and Supports their own Children”<\/p>\n

Babu Owino continued to reiterate over the success of the bill; adding that the ball is now in the court of Kenyan artists to ensure they produce hefty music to fill the 75% play;<\/p>\n

”As a member of Parliament, and a youthful one for that matter; together with honorable Jaguar, we’ll have to compel them to ensure that we pass this bill that is proposing 75% of the airplay should be given to Kenyan artists…<\/p>\n

And now kazi is on the artists who are Kenyans. We also expect you to produce quality music, danceable music.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even though Eric didn’t receive much support from Kenyan musicians; it’s imminent that they’ll now be roped in to stick by his side. The bill is meant to uplift them anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
