Ever since Eddy Kenzo was elected by the musicians in Uganda to lead artists in the Uganda Music Federation and was later appointed by the president of Uganda to the presidential adviser on music and arts.
Artists in Uganda have been demanding how far the president and also presidential adviser has reached on improving and implementing the copyright law.
Eddy has finally come out to clarify on how far he has reached on the copyright right law.
Here is a letter that has been put allover his social media.
COPY RIGHT LAW UPDATE
Greetings members,
Am glad to inform you that the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights(Ammendment) Bill 2024 was returned from the Parliamentary Counsel and has been approved and overwhelming supported by Cabinet today.
The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs after then will publish the Bill in the Gazette and introduce the Bill in Parliament for debate and Enactment.
The Ministry of Finance has also confirmed issuing the Certificate of Financial Implication to clear the Bill.
Our wish of having the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights (Amendment)Bill ,2024 as a Christmas gift I think has been fulfilled.
We are grateful to H.E the President for listening to our concerns and guiding us appropriately.
Let’s patiently wait through the remaining final process and celebrate this achievement together.
