Last month, the committee on Gender, Labor and Social Development had suggested that a portion of the national budget (33.57 billion shillings) should be allocated to the Uganda National Cultural Centre (UNCC). This sum would go into supporting artists and communities for artistic efforts.

Artists like Hilderman and Cindy Sanyu supported the announcement. They explained the challenges faced by artists in making music like expensive recording studios, 800,000 Shillings and over 20 million Shillings for video production. It seems Rabadaba has fallen victim to the expensive production process in the local industry.

Bebe Cool was against the proposal saying the money should be invested in tracking music airplay and securing royalties. Cool allegedly has one of the most expensive music videos in the country for his song "Wire Wire" which was shot in North America in the Mojave desert.
