The Rot Inside Permanent Presidential Music Commission Exposed
Newsroom Updated 2 min read
Good morning Cyprian, I would like to tell you of how Permanent Presidential Music Commission (PPMC) has become a cash cow, mtu anaingia huko kama hana kitu mwezi hauishi ako na iPhone na kuchange magari kama nguo. One, some of the people working there have their own choirs or are affiliated to choirs, which they call to perform in most of the state functions, or if your choir is called you must give them a cut of what you're paid by the government and if you don't, your chances of being asked to perform again are so minimal. The most recent one is this Jamhuri Day one; PAMICCO, which brings together choirs from parastatals, ministries and counties was the main choir, so the director of PPMC a Mr. Otoyo came to address the choir and said the government had released 4M. 3 million for uniform and 1 million as performance fee. He then said forms were being brought for members to sign. When the forms came, the amount which people were to sign against wasn't included, the column was empty. The PAMICCO committee told people to stop signing until forms with an amount included are brought. After this, the Secretary General of PAMICCO was threatened from a higher office, that was on Friday. On Saturday, NIS had to come to Nyayo where rehearsals were taking place to protect her,her movements were being tracked and her communication monitored. At the end of the day, the director of PPMC didn't release the 3 million for uniforms as he had claimed and on Jamhuri Day, and not all members of the choir got their uniforms. Kindly conduct further investigations if you can and expose them!
