MP Jaguar speaks after Ezekiel Mutua’s new law that has left creatives pissed
Singer Jaguar is now wears two hats after he was elected as the Starehe member of parliament. Kenyan creatives, especially entertainers, have been looking on to him to push different proposal in parliament that will see them make a living in the arts business without much hustle.
Recently, Kenya Film Classification Board announced that Filmmakers will be needed pay KSH 12,000 for registration and licenses, KSH 5000 for weekly upload, KSH 1000 for the days you film. A fine of 100,000 will be imposed if found Vlogging with a license.
Trash the bill
The proposal sparked outrage from Kenyans as many promised not to adhere. Jaguar has now addressed the issues saying that the law is a mistake and should be trashed since will kill the creative business in Kenya.
Here’s what he had to say:
KFCB should not implement any form of rules which will have a negative impact on the creative industry. The Youth are turning to the creative industry as an alternative source of employment and we can't stop them! @InfoKfcb
