Events promoter Nobert Events has accused legendary singer Ragga Dee for being an enemy of the music industry. He said that some old artistes still want to be in power forgetting that the young generation is ready to take it up to the next level.
Ragga Dee hasn’t been actively releasing music but he has been very active in other activities taking place in the music industry.
He has been in meetings with stake holders discussing what can be done to improve the whole industry but at the same time he is doing contradictory things.
As a president of artistes, Eddy Kenzo decided to organize a jam session weekly for artistes to meet socialise and have a good time.
Indeed artistes started coming together with the older musicians meeting the younger musicians during those sessions.
Ragga Dee also decided to come up with his own jam session on a different day and venue claiming that some artistes are not comfortable hanging out at Eddy Kenzo’s jam session.
According to Nobert Events what Ragga Dee is doing shows how he doesn’t want the music industry to develop.
“I do think that Ragga Dee tells the world that he wants Ugandan music industry to develop but in reality he is the biggest enemy of the industry. He is of enough to be concentrating on other things rather than the music which he is not actively doing,”’

![[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.
