Renowned Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones has penned a letter to the President of the Republic of Kenya, H.E Uhuru Kenyatta, on behalf of the Creative Industry of Kenya requesting him to reopen bars and clubs. In the letter posted on social media, the Lwanda Magere crooner explained that creatives were having a hard time maneuvering the hard Corona times without a source of income. Khaligraph also argued that most of their hit songs were being wasted since they have no one to perform to.

"@ukenyatta Kindly on behalf of the Creative Industry of Kenya we are requesting that you allow us to get back to work, allow for the reopening of Clubs and Restaurants," he began by saying. The rapper promised to observe all the COVID-19 safety regulations put in place by the Ministry of Health to ensure no further spread of the virus.
