Andrew Mukasa, the proprietor of Bajjo Events, shared the list, leading with Bobi Wine, who according to the promoters, deserves Shs20 million.

"We wish to inform the public that the National Promoters Association of Uganda has come up with new guidelines regarding how much should be paid to different artistes as booking fees in order to minimise the risks taken by the promoters in the business," Mukasa, who is the national coordinator of the Association, wrote in a January 4 statement that was copied to the Uganda Musicians Association, all promoters, the ministry of Gender and Labour and Uganda Revenue Authority.

"According to research we conducted as promoters in Uganda from the lockdown we have seen it necessary to reverse the price of our artises if we are to stay in business. We are not demeaning our artistes but we are saving our job, any artiste who is not happy with these guidelines is free to organise him or herself."

Going further down the list, David Lutalo will be booked for Shs6 million, Sheebah Karungi (Shs5.5 million), Eddy Kenzo (Shs5m) while Catherine Kusasira, Juliana Kanyomozi, Spice Diana, Jose Chameleone and Winnie Nwagi will be hired for Shs4 million.

Promoters are willing to pay Shs3.5 million for Mesach Ssemakula, King Saha and Pallaso.

Then for Fik Fameica and Ykee Benda, they are willing to cough anywhere from Shs2 million to 3 million. Vinka has been assigned Shs2 million.

It seems promoters don't rate Bebe Cool that much, as he has been valued at Shs1 million and the least valued singer is Ronald Mayinja who will get anywhere from Shs200,000 to 400,000. From the bottom, the next musician is Big Eye who will earn anywhere from Shs500,000 to Shs800,000.
