February 26, 2024

The National Government is committed to fighting cartels in the music and arts industry to ensure artists earn from their talents.

This was revealed by the Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage Aisha Jumwa during the burial of prominent traditional song writer and singer Masha Iha Thoya in Malindi town, Kilifi County.

Ms Jumwa who was accompanied by Kilifi Governor Gideon Mung’aro, Malindi MP Amina Mnyazi and several Members of County Assembly (MCA) also challenged the Kilifi County Assembly to pass bills that will entrench traditional music, arts and artefacts in law and help in revenue collection through tourism and research education.
