    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Whenever many of us drive along the roads, we see some performing artistes trying to earn a living in one way or another. Those people have been reduced to beggars yet they were earning their livelihoods in clubs and other places where they used to perform. I listened to the response from the Chair and he said that Kshs32 million went to the Permanent Presidential Music Commission. That is the bulk of the money. When you look at the division amongst the various groups, those are corporations that have budgetary allocations within the National Treasury. Did this money really reach the performing artistes? Previously, those artistes were getting a lot of money. They could pay their rent, take their children to school and feed themselves. Now they have been reduced to performing on the roads, so that they can get our sympathy. It is something that touches all of us as Kenyans and human beings. The President should still do something that can reach those people. That is my prayer."
