The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) has awarded two local musicians whose songs crown the best from 21 competitors in the competition organized by the ministry to produce a song on intellectual property in Rwanda.
The ministry intends to sensitize the public on the importance of intellectual property in Rwanda`s Development, as well as the content of the law and policy on Intellectual property.
Generation Music Group, that was the best and awarded Frw 2.5M said during the press interview.
“We are extremely happy as an upcoming group to see that our song was the best. The award we got today will be used to produce other songs we had in the studio.” Generation Music Group said.
Mboneko Kizito among other participants won the second position with the award of Rwf 1M
According to Kaliza Karuretwa in charge of Trade and investment said the biggest challenge is awareness because the regulatory framework is already in place and that the public has to be sensitized upon it.
Karuretwa said that campaign has been done in seminars and workshops but was not successful as expected and that is why the sensitization is going to be done through music itself.
“Since we have the song, the message will be delivered to every one without calling for meetings because we are going to promote it via radios and television.” she added.
