The popular entertainer, whose real name is Jasper Muthomi, said his main motivation is to champion the rights and welfare of people working in the creative industry.
Speaking during an interview with a local media station on Friday, February 13, 2026, Jessy said he has developed a strong passion for supporting creatives across Kenya.
He explained that over the years, he has witnessed many talented individuals struggle to earn fair pay and receive recognition for their work.
Because of this, he believes joining Parliament will give him a stronger platform to push for change.
Jessy confidently stated that he plans to be in Parliament after the 2027 elections.
He noted that his entry into politics is not driven by personal ambition but by a desire to help improve the creative sector, which he believes holds great economic potential for the country.
He said the industry has grown rapidly, especially with the rise of digital content creation, but legal protections and structured support for creatives have not kept pace.
The comedian said one of his main priorities will be pushing for the Creative Economy Bill, which is expected to improve working conditions and ensure better earnings for people in the creative sector.
According to him, the proposed law aims to address long-standing challenges such as poor pay, lack of contracts, and limited government support for artists, content creators, and performers.
While explaining the progress of the bill, Jessy expressed disappointment that it has not yet been passed into law.
He revealed that the proposal has been in Parliament for about four years, undergoing discussions without being fully approved.
He questioned why such an important bill, which could benefit thousands of creatives, continues to face delays.
Jessy also raised concerns about the level of awareness among creatives about the proposed law.
He pointed out that many people in the industry are not familiar with the bill despite it being meant to support them.
He said this lack of awareness raises questions about whether enough creatives were involved in drafting and reviewing the proposal.
The entertainer highlighted his involvement in the Digital Content Creators Association of Kenya, noting that he is one of its founders.
Through the association, he said he has interacted with many digital creators and has realized that some are not fully informed about policies meant to support their work.
He believes this gap in communication is one of the reasons the creative sector has struggled to organize itself and push for better opportunities.
Jessy argued that the creative economy has the potential to create jobs and generate significant income if supported through proper legislation.
He said many young people are turning to digital content creation, music, comedy, and film as sources of livelihood, making it necessary for the government to establish clear policies that protect and promote their work.
