WILLY PAUL WRITES AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT TO HELP ENTERTAINERS

By  | 

The entertainment industry has been the worst hit by covid-19 pandemic and singer Willy Paul took to social media to ask for help from the president.

In a lengthy open letter, he said, “Dear Mr president, my president. First and foremost, I’d like to congratulate you for the good work that you’ve done so far and what you are still doing. Especially in this time of #corona. My president I have an issue.

The entertainment scene has been hit badly and sadly no one seems to care about whatever is happening to us entertainers from other countries like musicians, actors, producers, directors and comedians are getting help from their governments and here no one is even saying a word.”

He went to state the money they earn from royalties can hardly pay the bills, “The other day you had a press conference and all of us expected to hear our president’s thought on the entertainment scene uunfortunately you did not mention a thing.

Mr president, most of us depend on shows, gigs as we all know that our board of music has been having issues with the artists. They’ve been stealing from us from call back tones to every other thing. Most of us depend on music for everything Mr President.

We have families that look up to us right now we’re all home, not making any money. I’m just speaking from a musical perspective, if an established musician can feel the pinch like me, what about the upcoming who only makes 5000 shillings per gig and they still have to pay rent and feed their families?

Mr President, I know you are a fan of Kenyan music, Kenyan content, Kenyans and you love your people. Please remember us in this dark moment.”
