Government to Pay Content Creators – But Only If They Push Housing and Health Agendas.

A major policy shift is underway after Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi revealed that the government is prepared to financially support content creators who focus on amplifying critical national agendas such as affordable housing and healthcare.

Speaking during a recent media briefing, Itumbi emphasized that creators producing content aligned with these key sectors will not only receive recognition but also direct financial rewards from the state. He described the move as a strategic effort to bridge the gap between policy and the public by leveraging the influence of digital platforms.

“The government is keen to work with content creators who highlight real issues that affect citizens. Housing, health, and other development priorities are at the center of our focus, and creators who communicate these stories effectively will be supported,” Itumbi said.

The announcement is expected to ignite debate across Kenya’s fast-growing digital space, where thousands of young creators are seeking ways to monetize their work. While some see it as a groundbreaking opportunity to align creativity with national development, others fear it could be a subtle push towards state-controlled narratives.

Analysts note that this could mark the beginning of a structured partnership between the government and online influencers, a move that could redefine the role of social media in policy communication. However, questions remain about transparency, selection criteria, and whether such support will extend beyond political messaging.

If fully implemented, the initiative could channel millions of shillings into the creative economy, reshaping how Kenyans consume information on issues that directly impact their daily lives.

This revelation comes at a time when the government is under pressure to demonstrate commitment to youth empowerment, job creation, and innovation.
