The Jamhuri Day celebrations held at the Nyayo Stadium attracted thousands of Kenyans who were eager to listen to new reforms by President William Ruto. The celebrations were highly anticipated; and was a success.<\/p>\n

It was cosseted by numerous Kenyan artists, who showed up in huge numbers to entertain netizens; and of course, the President himself.<\/p>\n

The Permanent Presidential Music Commission (PPMC) said it was putting together a roster of both young and seasoned musicians as well as dancers.<\/p>\n

Some of the artists who performed included; \u00a0Chris Adwar, Atemi, Manasseh Shalom, Serro and Wambura Mitaru while \u2018Kuna Kuna\u2019\u00a0hit maker Brandy Maina, Ndovu Kuu, Jovial, Masauti, Faith Stan, Dufla Diligon among others.<\/p>\n

Artists Deserve More<\/h2>\n

\"Njugush<\/p>\n

Kenyan artists are under-rated; even though they have not given their all. We’ve seen how immensely we’re talented. And I believe the Government should invest more in the entertainment industry. Remember when Eric Omondi was rooting for the 75% play KE bill to be passed? It should definitely be passed to support our artists.<\/p>\n

Artists Who Have Felt The Pinch<\/h2>\n

It’s not peculiar for Kenyans to have a fund-raising to help artists. The likes of Omosh and comedian Akuku Danger. They reached a point where they could no longer hide the fact that they were not making enough to sustain themselves. Remember the MCSK scandal? Where artists complained of being paid peanuts? What does that mean? There’s not enough to help our artists sustain themselves. That’s why they don’t fancy showbiz like International artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
