Uganda’s long-awaited Copyright Amendment Bill is set to return to Parliament of Uganda for its second reading today, a key stage in the legislative process.
The development was confirmed by Eddy Kenzo, who also serves as the president of the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF).
Kenzo shared the update on Wednesday night, expressing optimism about the progress of the bill.
“The Copyright Bill is up for second reading tomorrow,” he wrote on social media.
The second reading is an important stage in the law-making process because it opens the bill for debate among Members of Parliament. During this phase, legislators analyze the proposals and suggest possible changes before the bill proceeds further.
After the debate, the bill will move to the third reading, where Parliament will vote on whether it should become law.
Musicians across the country have been pushing for the amendment for several years, arguing that stronger copyright protection would help them earn more from their creative work and protect their intellectual property.
Industry leaders, including Eddy Kenzo, remain hopeful that the bill will finally move forward and bring long-awaited reforms to Uganda’s creative sector.
