A group of artistes, promoters, and event organizers led by Ragga Dee reportedly submitted a Shs5 billion request to the government to allow them to organize TV concerts.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni revealed plans to lift the lockdown completely in January during his last address on Covid-19.
That meant that in January 2022, bars, concerts, and other public gatherings would open. Several entertainment fans are now joyous with anticipation and excitement as a result of this.
Since March 2020, bars and concerts are on closure. During that time, music fans had to watch their favorite artists perform virtually on social media and on television.
According to new reports, Daniel Kazibwe a.k.a. Ragga Dee, through the Events Association of Uganda, wants to stage more TV concerts while the lockdown over.
The news that the aforementioned association was seeking more than Shs5 billion came on Thursday. After the group presented its proposal to Parliament’s Budget Committee.
Ragga Dee and other members presented their justification for such a large sum on Thursday. In hopes that their request is under consideration so that they can entertain Ugandans.
It should be noted that several other groups have made similar requests to parliament and the OWC boss in recent months.
We will have to wait and see how this particular development plays out. But it has already cast doubt on whether the lockdown will be over within the next two months.
