Mtn Ug through it's marketing agancy Talent Africa ,has rubbished claims that they paid the Northern Uganda artistes who performed at its Expo in Gulu at Pece Studium over weekend peanuts.
This was after one concerned celebrated Video Director from Gulu exposed to the public that, Mtn Ug only paid the Northern Uganda artistes 200,000/= for their service which he felt was a disgrace and discrediting.
But in a letter written to one northern Uganda website northernbuzz from Talent Africa, Mtn says they paid the artistes more than 200K .... and they state that, Tempra Omona was the highly paid. They say they paid him 4 Millions Shillings for the Pece expo.
Bellow is the letter.......
Dear Comrade,
I hope this finds you well.
I have attached a media release which I am requesting you to share with your audience.
We paid none of Northern Uganda artiste at the said price by the medias and the bloggers in the region,we respect every artist brand in the country.We paid Tempra Omona 4 million three days before the event because he was among the headliners of the Event.”Email drafted by Talent Africa group to Northern Buzz.

We now wait to hear more from the artistes.....
