“@railajunior1 Gathee Ebu Bonga Na Mzae wako Mr. Agwambo Raila Amolo Odinga, Mwambie Aongee na Uhuru Kenyatta watufugulie Country Turudi Kazi, Rada chafu sana, Watu wanaumia,” he said.
According to Khaligraph, artistes are really suffering since performances are their main source of income.
His post elicited massive reactions with several artistes including; Jua Cali, Savara, Femi One and Tanasha Donna expressing their support for the same.
Since April, Kenyan artistes have not been able to have any live physical shows due to a government ban on public gatherings following the spread of the corona virus pandemic.
