Parliament has passed the Creative Arts Bill, expected to accelerate the growth of the sector, into law.
The law amongst others establishes the Creative Arts Fund and an Agency to promote the industry.
It will also enable the government to organise the Creative Arts Industry and create an enabling environment through direct and indirect support for practitioners and industry players to impact on national development.
