This can be something good if all entertainment journalists could join in. First of all, they are experienced and well-versed with the media. It will be easy for them to promote a musician. Not just that but after the lockdown, they surely must have learned a lot. Many media houses laid off workers as a way of minimising expenditures. Anyone who didn’t have a side business must have felt it.
Most of the times, people wait for something to take off before they interest themselves with it. However, there is always something about starting with a business. You know the foundation, vision and purpose of the business. Most journalists have not yet run to this and they must have their reasons.
Meanwhile, this record label has already signed an artist who they unveiled during the launch known as Flona. She was kind enough to share her story.
“One day I was singing Iryn Namubiru’s “Nkuweeki’” in the kitchen while preparing katogo unaware that one of the directors of the company was standing right behind me listening. He was surprised and asked me to sing again. He then dragged me to audition with Blue Note Band, which is the company’s band,” Flona said.
This label will be handling video and audio production, plus the promotion of their artists.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
