Bobi Wine, who has vocally
opposed government gifts to musicians, recently asserted that musicians have
received Shs30 billion; nevertheless, this amount is significantly less.
A commitment of Shs13 billion
was made by the Ministry of Finance to help artists through the Microfinance
help Center.
The money will be used to
capitalize the SACCO of performing artists so they can support the growth of
structures for both the creative industry and artists, as well as offer
financial services to stakeholders in the industry.
On Tuesday, December 13, Eddy
Kenzo made the following statement to the media: "Bobi has to recruit a
research team that won't feed him erroneous information... Since his party is
represented in the legislature, I would assume he would be well-informed. That
he can still be duped at his level is ridiculous."
Kenzo claims that they have
not received nor were they given 30 billion.
"He has always sought to
present himself as the godfather or promoter of performances, believing in his
delusion that a music concert will fail if he doesn't support it. That is his
incorrect belief. He assumes that everyone ought to share his beliefs. Nope,
nope. All we want is better laws for everyone."
According to Bobi Wine,
musicians vying for government funding are like beggars. Most have found this
to be off-putting. His charges are politically driven, Bebe Cool claimed, and
he is screaming recklessly.
"Bobi Wine is aware that
his influence decreases if the rest of us artists prosper financially. In order
to scare his fellow artists into falling into his trap, he starts ignorant
conversations," the man added.
