Daxx Kartel calls for industry structures, not handouts

Wait 5 sec.

Daxx Kartel has criticized the government’s approach of giving money to musicians, saying the move could harm the entertainment industry in the long run.While appearing on Gossip Live, Daxx Kartel argued that instead of offering handouts to creatives, the government should focus on implementing policies and strategies that help artists earn sustainably on their own.According to him, the entertainment and creative industry is large enough to create employment opportunities without relying on direct financial support from the government.Please stop giving us. It’s a mistake to give us money and you’ll regret that mistake. Let that money be invested in structures that streamline this job and we shall reach a point where it’ll be us lending the government money. Daxx emphasized that investing in proper industry structures, systems, and policies would empower creatives to grow and build a self-sustaining sector that can contribute more to the country’s economy.Daxx Kartel further warned that the government’s continued involvement through what he described as “brokering” the industry with certain individuals could damage the sector in the long term.

People are still coming, people who will sing better than you and they will come and make reforms, so they will discuss you among those who didn’t fulfill their part. @ssessimbaderrickmugagga Gov’t mukola nsobi otuwa sente, ffe ngabayimbi industry yaffe nene nyoo singa tukola structures / Policies #sDmmediya #freeallpoliticalprisonersinuganda #trending #Protestvote #Nationalunityplatform ♬ original sound – sDmMediya The post Daxx Kartel calls for industry structures, not handouts appeared first on MBU.
