John Kiarie","speaker":{"id":13322,"legal_name":"John Kiarie Waweru","slug":"john-kiarie-waweru"},"content":"I would like to authoritatively say that the intent that was envisioned by the Head of State in giving this cushion to artistes was not achieved. The Kshs100 million is a drop in the ocean for the hundreds of thousands of artistes who are suffering right now in the prevailing COVID-19 situation. We will take up the follow-up issues through the necessary channels because the Ministry has given us a response. We will take up the other questions through the relevant channels. Much appreciated, Hon. Speaker."}
