Khalifah AgaNaga Praises Copyright Bill as Win for Creatives
More creatives continue to weigh in on the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Amendment Bill, 2025, as debate grows across the industry.
Ugandan Parliament passed the bill on March 19, 2026 and it now awaits presidential approval.
Since then, the development has sparked mixed reactions, with some creatives questioning its practicability while others welcome it as long overdue progress.
Singer Khalifah AgaNaga, whose real name is Mukiiza Kalifah, stands among those celebrating the move.
He sees the bill as an important step for both musicians and the wider creative sector.
Speaking to Daily Soup, he described the law as a major breakthrough that could benefit many people across the arts.
We need the copyright law. It is good, and a very big step in the right direction for Uganda’s music industry and the arts in general.
His view adds to a growing list of voices backing the bill, even as discussions around its details continue.
