Byakika highlighted the interconnected ecosystem impacted by such a concert, emphasizing that its success is not just Stecia’s victory but a significant win for Uganda’s economy.
“The event involves an entire ecosystem, from service providers, performers, saloon and fashion designers to that last boda boda riders bringing revelers to the venue. That’s why we must support events like these ones because they mean a lot to the economy.” He said urging all Ugandans to purchase their tickets via the Flexipay at discounted rates.
