Arrow Bwoy calls out Governor Sakaja over pending Nairobi Festival performance pay

Singer Arrow Bwoy now wants Nairobi County Governor Johnson Sakaja's intervention over what he terms as pending performance arrears.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the “Digi Digi” hitmaker claimed that he has yet to receive any payment for performing at the Nairobi Festival despite the event having taken place in December 2022.

“Dear our Governor Sakaja, mambo imechemka huku nje. Since we performed at Nairobi festival in December, we have not been paid,” he said.

According to Arrow Bwoy, who says that Homeboyz Agency contracted him for the event, neither his team nor himself have received word of when to expect the payment despite repeatedly asking for their dues.

He added that Homeboyz claims that they haven't made the payments since the County government has yet to pay them as well.

“Governor Sakaja, you were once an artist. You know the struggles we go through as creatives. Kindly, huku nje maisha ni ngumu cheza Kama wewe,” he added.

Last year, Governor Sakaja announced that the annual Nairobi festival be held every December to showcase and celebrate Nairobi for the city it is.

"In December we will set aside some streets to display culture, food, creativity, have the ng'anya awards for the best done matatus , have rugby , football and basketball tournaments and other activities,” he said then.
