Over UGX 90 billion needed to fight Ebola #NTVNews bit.ly/3RlO4w0

4 of our big artists left for London to perform earlier today and they took a video sitting in economy. I think our artists need to start negotiating beyond just boarding a plane and start putting up conditions that will push the industry from one step to another, better branding as @SheilahGashumba usually says. I remember 12 years ago @eddykenzoficial woke up one day and told us he won’t be doing economy flights anymore , since then it is either First Class , Business or a private jet and without any of that, he can’t travel out of this country no matter what. He doesn’t sleep in a hotel that is not 5 star in a foreign country. He doesn’t travel alone, His management, media team , Dj or a band are a must. He doesn’t move out to perform without work visas and many other conditions. He wasn’t so big when he put these conditions in place , but still promoters have complied very well over the years and til date , he is the most traveled Ugandan artist with all those conditions, those that didn’t afford , waited until they could afford. It’s all about believing in yourself and knowing your worth and also knowing that you need to move from one level to another for your fans to see growth. Our artists should do away with certain things now that we are looking at having more intl artists. Traveling like ur not a star should stop. Traveling on visit visas to perform should stop because on a bad day you’ll be deported. Being taken out there to sleep at people’s houses should also stop , houses of fellow Ugandans abroad 🤦🏿‍♂️. You don’t need to first be international, if you’re a king at home , whoever wants you should treat you like the king you are. Let’s set standards that will give us the respect that we keep demanding .

.@KCCAUG is strengthening enforcement against noise pollution in Kampala. Please adhere to the prescribed noise limits and let us work together to protect public health and community wellbeing.

Dear friends: I have been following efforts to drag @NWSCMD into certain things! I would like to point to the following facts: I) I have been at @nwsc_ug since for about 32yrs and we have tried to do things administratively right, albeit some gaps.

Government welcomes all support towards the ongoing #Ebola response. However, we encourage partners to ensure that any support publicly declared is clearly communicated, discussed, coordinated, and aligned with the national Ebola response plan. It is important to indicate what the support entails, who is implementing it, where it will be implemented, and the specific response gaps it is addressing for proper planning, avoidance of duplication, clarity on operational capacity, and proper accountability. @StateHouseUg @UgandaMFA @mofpedU @newvisionwire @JaneRuth_Aceng @DianaAtwine #MOHatWork | #FightEbolaUG26
