Popular comedian and media personality Jasper Muthomi, alias MC Jessy, has revealed that he will be contesting for a Parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Elections.
Speaking during an interview on Friday, February 13, 2026, Jessy disclosed that among his main aims for vying for the seat is to push for the Creative Economy Bill to ensure better pay for Kenyan creatives
“There is a bill in parliament about my proposal. This is the fourth year that the bill has been sitting in parliament; it has been discussed, and there is a creative economy bill that is the answer that always comes”, the stand up comedian said.
I know about the bill, and I know for sure that if I go around, we have the Digital Content Creators Association of Kenya. I am one of the founders, and if I ask some of the digital content creators about the bill in parliament, some of them have no idea, so did they participate in drafting the bill? Maybe some participated, but are they part of the creative economy?” he added.
According to MC Jessy, if her were in parliament, the bill would have already been passed.
“If we succeed, the content creators, will be making more money than they are making today. Don’t see those people showing off their car and houses online, then you think that is the reality. Sometimes, they are paid to do that instead of that they will be able to live real life,” Jessy noted.
Revealing that Kenyan content creators are broke, he explained that working with the president would be a stepping stone to solve the problem.
“When you are inside the parliament, and you are close to the president, you are not anti; you are pro. Possibly he will listen to you, and you are really passionate about that particular issue that is in his manifesto; he is going to ask the majority leader to push that bill,” he further said.
