Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna [David Njaaga, Standard]Underprivileged upcoming artistes could soon record their music free of charge, following the planned construction of a public recording studio and an arts centre in Nairobi. The centre, a programme initiated by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, aims to recruit unsigned talents, many of whom face difficulties breaking out, owing to financial constraints. On Wednesday, the lawmaker signed a partnership with the Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) that will support the construction of the centre. It will be managed by a board to be established jointly by my office and KBL," he added. The public studio mirrors an initiative by former Nyandarua Governor Francis Kimemia that also allowed Nyandarua's artistes to record music free of charge.
