The ministry of Ethics and Integrity, headed by Minister Simon Lokodo has cracked the whip, cancelling ”Neon at the bridge party” over immorality, alcoholism& pornography issues.
In a statement issued today, minister Lokodo states that ”As a religious nation, we don’t like to promote alcoholism, pornography and immorality and feel this event which is purportedly an arts concert may turn immoral.”
Sponsored by Tusker Lite, Evoke Night is an event that celebrates raw talent by providing a platform for young and talented performers to express themselves through art and this year, it will mark its first-ever regional edition with a show themed “Neon at the Bridge”.
The show was slated to take place at the new Nile Bridge this Saturday. The event will asides from performances from musicians also feature performances of spoken word, vocal play, poetry, beat-boxing and a fashion showcase in a party which promises to light up Jinja town. Also on the menu are contemporary dances, performances from an array of guest artistes, as well as a live band and DJ mixes from some of the best DJs in the business.
