When listening to Muthoni the DQ on Nation fm last you can tell the zeal and the passion for the Kenyan music industry.
I do support Muthoni when she says what ails our industry not just the music but the whole arts fraternity is legislation let us go the Nigerian way we lock out everything from outside or by some percentage then we can get to appreciate our arts, buy it, and create more jobs solving our one of our most pressing issues in our successive governments... unemployment.
Yes it is a process but it can be done if only the first step can be taken.
On legislation let us get our facts right before we throw out ABC let us read and understand it first and not wait for the media or the politicians to tell us what they think is good for us or not.

For our media please make us love our own by playing the music and airing our own programs; the reason why Citizen TV seamed to have an edge over the other stations before the analogue switch off was because of their appreciation for local talent airing our locally produced shows. I must also give credit NTV who are doing the same; the numbers speak for themselves Kenyans do love to watch Kenyans and listen to Kenyans.
That is why I am sad to see Maisha magic go it has so much interesting Kenyan connect to shows it aired. So may be M-Net can consider having it on GOtv as well or alternatively the content creators can sell the same to other stations.
Through arts other sectors will also benefit like the tourism industry.
Let us saturate our airwaves with our content, grow our industry and reduce unemployment.
