Gospel musician Judith Babirye turned up late as Members of Parliament began taking oath ahead of taking their seats in the 10th parliament. When quizzed about the reasons for her late coming, the Buikwe woman Member of Parliament elect told us that she had to first coordinate her entire team to come and witness her swearing in.
“I had to look for my people in different areas. My district has three constituencies and I wanted to be with all my people. I am happy that finally I have reached this milestone,” she said.
Asked how she will balance music and Parliament, the Mama Singer said that; “I will continue singing songs that inspire and uplift Ugandans. I will use my time at Parliament to speak out for Ugandans. But when I am in my free time I will be working on this great music. If I fail to get the time I will teach young artistes to sing the music using the gift that God has given me.”
Babirye also promised to tackle the Copyright law issue. “I want to help artistes with copyright law. I will use this opportunity to understand that law and see how we can make sure that our artistes can make some money out of their work. Nigerians have been able to make it worldwide because they have strong laws and the government has supported them. We shall get professionals in copyright and make sure that we enforce the law.”
We will keep you posted.
