Rapper Khaligraph Jones is pleading with President Uhuru Kenyatta to reopen clubs and restaurants so artistes can start earning. Uhuru announced all bars would be closed indefinitely to curb the spread of Covid-19. In April, Uhuru directed the Sports and Culture ministry to set aside Sh100 million to cushion artistes from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. In May, artistes were asked to submit proposals on artistic production for consideration for the Sh100 stimulus programme. "All interested artistes, musicians and actors are invited to immediately submit their proposals on artistic productions for consideration by the ministry," he said.
