Dear Gen Z ✊🏿, kindly add the following issues to the list of issues we need addressed by this incompetent administration. This issues affect filmmakers in this country and your voice on the matter is needed.

2. Enforcement of the programming code clause 5.3 (Requirement on local content) by the @CA_Kenya.

He could have just said, "okay guys, I hear you. Let's recall and rethink this bill"
But his advisors told him we were powerless Gen Z idlers, now look who's about to get ousted.
Made his bed, let him lie on it.
Scandals have made us lose sense of how much a billion is.
To finish Kshs1 billion, you would need to spend 100,000/- every day for more than 27 years.

Let me give you an experience I had for context:
Some time back, I was seeing someone who is in - relatively - the upper echelon of public service. She had an interview for a new job. We are driving - a few days to the interview - & she receives a call.
