Lake states artists\u2019 union in Juba has blamed Achai Wiir and Promoter Kay Two for not consulting the artists\u2019 body on the preparation of together for peace concert slated to be performed in Rumbek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Kacuol Makuei, the acting chairperson for Lakes State Artists Union, complained that the Union was kept in the dark during the preparation and therefore called off the said peace concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe preparation is supposed to be done in collaboration with Lakes State Artists\u2019 Union. You cannot do any event without the concerned body in the state. As artists\u2019 Union at the state, it is our duty to be involved in all activities related to music,\u201d Makuei said in a statement dated January 5, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut your case (promoters), you have been ignoring our existence which is a recognized body by the state. For your (Achai Wiir and Promoter K2) information you cannot conduct the peace concert without our approval,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makuei also known as John K one, explained that his union is not against individuals or peace concert promotion. However, they are not happy for being undermined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf Artists\u2019 Union has no function, it would have not been formed in the first place and what you are doing is undermining our body, it would not happen at our watch dear,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, he acknowledged the great work the duo is doing in the music industry despite disappointment by the organization processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makuei lamented that efforts to reach Achai Wiir to solve the issue before the actual time as stakeholder were not answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe failed to understand up to now. You (Achai Wiir) ignored our request in meeting you.  Understand that not everyone who requested your presence is a beggar,\u201d he vented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will only listen when this issue is solved. Otherwise, let the peace concert be conducted in other states and exclude Lakes State from your programs,\u201d he concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

K2 promotion company has planned to conduct \u2018together for peace concert\u2019 in states such as Western Bahr el Ghazal\u2019s capital Wau, Northern Bahr el Ghazal\u2019s capital Aweil and Lakes State\u2019s capital Rumbek between January and February this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achai Wiir and Promoter Kay 2 were not immediately available for comments on the disagreement with the union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
