The government on Thursday issued a statement clarifying the country’s alleged plans to host the prestigious Grammy Awards.
In a statement from the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, the government revealed that while an agreement with Grammy Global Ventures (GGV) was in place, it did not entail hosting the prestigious awards.
Instead, the government and GGV signed an agreement in which the two parties committed to setting up a prestigious musical academy centre in Kenya.
“The Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports and the Grammy Global Ventures (GGV) signed an agreement on September 25, 2023, where the two parties collaborated on the establishment of the Africa Academy headquarters or a centre in Kenya,” the Ministry said in a statement.
According to the Ministry, countries like Nigeria, Rwanda and South Africa already have an MoU for consideration by GGV, which is an international arm of the company that organises and presents the prestigious Grammy Awards.
The government further revealed that having an African Academy or centre in Kenya would offer local artists a brilliant platform to further their craft.\
