The Uganda Comedians Association (TUCA) has rejected the new law

The Uganda Comedians Association (TUCA), a group of Ugandans who make people laugh, has rejected the new drafted law. According to the TUCA Chairperson, Hannington Bugingo, the proposed law is not meant to nurture comedians.

The Uganda Comedians Association, is a new group in the entertainment industry of the country. The group, TUCA, as it is now fondly referred to, recently gathered together to air out their views at National Theatre, but they seemed were not organised. Some of them used bad language towards the presiding guest of honour, who was Minister of Youth and Culture, Hon Peace Mutuuzo.

It took sensible members like Abbey Mukiibi to calm rowdy and uninformed members to be formal. They later agreed to consult their legal pals and partners to interpret the law in their favour. Yesterday, the TUCA Chairman released what he called the interpretation of the law.

TUCA members in the meeting the had with the minister; they showed their admiration of the comedy industry in Nigeria, which they would wish to copy.

However, the problem with the TUCA is that they are disorganised and led by greed and fear. They want to earn without paying taxes; they want also law to protect only TUCA. While they were discussing with the minister, Hon Peace Mutuuzo, she made it clear that bouncers were also to be included among artists but these selfish humans felt hurt.

Hon Peace Mutuuzo explained that bouncers do much work whenever comedians hold shows, which means they are part and partial of the group. She further said that they cannot be separated from the group because they are recommended by security organs since they never carry fire arms at such shows.

It is very clear that TUCA is guided by selfish interests, the comedians do not look at other factors or think for other members of the society.
