Willy Paul writes an open letter to Uhuru Kenyatta urging him to help out Kenyan musicians during these trying times of Coronavirus, COVID-19

Willy Paul has taken to social media to write a rather emotional, touching open letter to the President of the Republic of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta.

The controversial musician who has since switched from releasing gospel songs to doing secular music took to social media to ask the President to step in and help out the Kenyan musicians and entertainers during the trying times of the pandemic Coronavirus, COVID-19.

The novel disease has seen everybody working from home, from the common mwananchi to the highest office in the land.

Willy Paul wants the government to intervene, especially from Uhuru Kenyatta himself if possible so that he could also make sure the entertainers in the country are catered and taken care of like most countries are taking care of their own.

“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.” Willy Paul said on Instagram, “entertainers from other countries e.g musicians, actors, producers, directors and comedians are getting help from their governments.”

Willy Paul wants the President to include all entertainers in his plan of taking care of all Kenyans during the trying times of the pandemic, Coronavirus, COVID-19 that has claimed thousands of lives globally.

“Mr. President, most of us depend on shows, gigs n e.t.c as we all know that our board of music has been having issues with the artists.”

“They’ve been stealing from us, from ringback 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.” the ‘Hallelujah’ hitmaker went on.

Willy Paul who took action to address the President of the Republic of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta without any influence whatsoever wrote a lengthy post directed to the President himself which sparked reactions from entertainers in the country.

Willy Paul wrote,

“Dear Mr. President, my president. First and foremost I’d like to congratulate you for the good work that you’ve done so far n ur 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 e.g musicians, actors, producers, directors and comedians are getting help from their governments.. and here no one is even saying a word.”

“The other day you had a press conference and all of us expected to hear our president’s thoughts on the entertainment scene. Unfortunately, you did not mention a thing.”

“Mr. President, most of us depend on shows, gigs n e.t.c as we all know that our board of music has been having issues with the artists.”

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

“What about the common #mwananchi who’s only hope is on mjengo, juakali, watchmen, mama mboga??? Mr President, I know ur a fan of Kenyan music, Kenyan content, Kenyans and you love your people. PLEASE REMEMBER US IN THIS DARK MOMENT.”
