The debate has so far become extensive that everyone is jumping in.

Nairobi Senator Johnston Sakaja has also joined in support of the Kenyan Music. While attending the memorial service of the Late Bruce Odhiambo he promised his support for the Kenyan Music.

In order to honour his service, the senator said he will introduce a debate in parliament to ensure that Kenyan music gets 60% airplay in our media.

“The greatest tribute we can do is to seriously consider his talent and put our money where our mouth is. This will happen if our local artistes are supported and their music played must be local.

Although the media houses are privately owned the frequency is public property.
