Prof. Gilbert Balibaseka Bukenya, the Former Uganda Vice President, has condemned the act of presidency officers meting out tokens of money handout items to artists.
He explains that as an alternative of the federal government giving out money handouts to artists, they need to have merely developed areas the place artists would maintain exhibits and concert events which are as much as commonplace and established correct working situations for them to make their cash with out bothering the federal government in any means.
He additionally poked holes within the authorities’s transfer to determine the Uganda Nationwide Musicians Federation stating that the transfer was very pointless asserting that Uganda solely wants federations that result in collaboration with East Africa and Africa at massive when it comes to increasing its market and integration.
The federal government ought to have helped artists by establishing or growing an area the place artists may maintain exhibits and concert events slightly than giving them money handouts as a result of it’s all ineffective.
I don’t see any motive why they need to be given cash. Artists ought to be left to sing and make their cash.
The musicians federation that was arrange is pretend as a result of a musician comes and goes. Uganda solely wants a Federation that unites East Africa and Africa at massive.
Prof. Gilbert Bukenya additional urged musicians to remain humble and mild noting that the acts of bragging round and the carrying of camouflage uniform is nonsense as he tasked them to behave higher.
Whereas weighing in on the latest chaos amongst musicians, Hon. Bukenya acknowledged that such artists are simply mediocre who’re right here for only a very quick whereas.
Musicians ought to be light and humble in order that once they earn cash, they’ll deal with making smart investments. However not this enterprise of bragging round, carrying safety camouflage uniform, and having hair that appears prefer it was gotten from somebody who had been buried way back. Artists ought to discover methods to raised themselves.
