Music is a noble profession, do not demean it

It is with great concern that the National Nurses Association of Kenya (NNAK) in a presser choose to attack the incentive the government has provided for musicians due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak. The demeaning words used are regrettably mentioning the musicians play background music, which is a misinformed statement.

It is a fact that the ban on public gathering has negatively impacted the earnings of musicians; however, music is consumed in various forms worldwide. According to Nielsen report staying at home can increase the consumption of music by sixty percent, which is a good thing for musicians.
