Nyuma yaho haje kuvuka ikibazo cyo gukata imisoro (15%) kuri bya bihumbi 700 hagasigara ibihumbi 595, aho abahanzi bamwe babyinubiye bashaka ko bahabwa ibihumbi 700 byuzuye noneho abateguye ibihembo bakishyura imisoro ku ruhande.

Ibyo biganiro ngo byabaye mu byumweru bibiri bishize, kuri ubu abahanzi bakaba bavuga ko n’ayo mafaranga make bagomba guhabwa (ibihumbi 595) bategereje kuyahabwa bagaheba.
Mani Martin avuga ko ibibazo nk’ibi bigira ingaruka ku mazina y’abahanzi, bikaba byatuma bamwe mu bahanzi badaha agaciro Salax Awards mu gihe nyamara igihembo ari ikintu cy’ingenzi mu buzima bw’umuhanzi.
Ati, “Izina ry’umuhanzi ni ikintu kinini, ni cyo ducuruza, iyo izina ryawe ryagiye mu bintu nk’ibyo bakagufata amafoto, nk’ayo mafoto baba bagufashe ufashe sheki, nyuma numvise ko n’amafaranga yari kuri sheki atari yo bazatanga, n’ayo ngayo baje kwemera ntibayatanga, abantu bakaguma babinginga, urumva ko bishobora kuba impamvu yo kuba ubutaha umuntu yemera kujyamo cyangwa kutajyamo.”
Igihembo kimarira iki umuhanzi?
Ibihembo bya ‘Salax Awards’ bigitangira muri 2009, byari bifite izina rikomeye kandi byubashywe cyane, buri muhanzi yifuza kubigaragaramo, hanyuma haza kugenda havugwa ko bigurwa bigahabwa abatabikwiye nubwo ababiteguraga (Ikirezi Group) bamaganiraga kure ayo makuru.
Igihe cyarageze bamwe mu bahanzi bakajya banga kubijyamo, bakavuga ko bafite izindi gahunda bahugiyemo; nk’iby’uyu mwaka nta muhanzi wo muri Kina Music wabigiyemo, ndetse na ba Charly na Nina, Dj Pius, Social Mula n’abandi bamwe na bamwe ntibemeye kubyitabira.
Bamwe mu bakurikirana iby’umuziki bagiye bashima abahanzi banze kubijyamo bakavuga ko ari ukwihesha agaciro bashingiye ahanini ku mitegurire y’ibihembo ikemangwa, abandi bakavuga ko umuhanzi w’umunyamwuga atakabaye yikura mu bihembo.
By’umwihariko abahanzi twaganiriye mu gutegura iyi nkuru, bashima cyane Ikirezi Group cyatangije ibi bihembo ndetse na AHUPA yabigaruye nyuma y’imyaka itatu bidatangwa, bakifuza ko icyakorwa ari ukonoza imitegurirwe yabyo ariko ko kuba biriho ari ikintu cy’ingirakamaro ku muhanzi.
Bruce Melodie yabwiye Imvaho Nshya ko anenga abahanzi bagiye batangaza mu bihe bitandukanye ko batazabona umwanya wo kujya muri Salax Awards, aho asanga ari impamvu ishingiro, ati, “Nta muntu wakubwiye ngo ngwino uririmbe tubone kuguha igihembo, ni igihembo wari koherezayo n’umuntu, murumuna wawe cyangwa mushiki wawe akajya kugifatira, uri ‘busy’ se gute ku buryo wabura n’umuntu wohereza ngo ajye kukizanira?”
“Njyewe ntabwo nemeranya n’abavuga ngo ntibajya muri Salax, kuko njyewe ndabizi ko hari akamaro igihembo uhawe mu gihugu kiruta ibindi mu gihugu, birumvikana ni Salax kuko nta yindi bihanganye, icyo gihembo hari ikintu kiba gishobora kugufasha nubwo haza ibibazo bimeze bite, hari ahantu nyine kiba cyakurenza.”
Ibibazo byabaye uyu mwaka byo kuba batarahabwa amafaranga bijejwe, avuga ko bitazatuma agenda biguru ntege mu kugaruka muri Salax Awards umwaka utaha.
Ati, “Ntabwo wambwira ngo nsezere igihembo kandi nyine ntacyo ngira, n’umwana wanjye nkeneye kuzamwereka ibintu nakoze, akeneye kubona amateka y’ubuzima nanyuzemo. Hari ahantu nigeze kujya gusaba visa mbabwira ko ndi umuhanzi bambaza ikibigaragaza, uri nkanjye se wagaragaza iki? Video y’indirimbo yawe ntabwo bashobora kuyemera, niba uri kubabwira ngo ndi umuhanzi mfite igitaramo mu gihugu cyanyu ndabasaba visa, baravuga bati ibyo ari byo byose ntabwo bari gutumira umuhanzi mushya, ikindi interineti igira byinshi nyine ntabwo bayizera, ikintu umuntu aba akwiriye kwizera, niba koko uri umuhanzi, mu muziki wakuyemo iki? Ni cyo werekana. Bakwaka ama ‘certificats’ y’ibyo bihembo cyangwa n’ibyo bihembo ubwabyo, amafoto yabyo, urumva nyine ni ikintu cy’ingenzi ku muntu uri mu mwuga wa muzika.”
Queen Cha na we avuga ko nubwo hagaragaye inzitizi uyu mwaka, ashima abateguye ibi bihembo, gusa akabasaba ko ubutaha bajya babitegura neza byashaka bikamara igihe bidatangwa ariko igihe bigarukiye bikagaruka biri ku murongo.
Ati, “Igitekerezo bari bagize ni cyiza cyane kuko award (igihembo) nayifata nka motivation (ikintu cyongerera umwete ugihawe) ku bahanzi, umuziki utabamo icyo kintu hari ni kintu kiba kibura kandi gikomeye cyane.
Nasaba ko ubutaha bafata igihe gihagije cyo kubitegura neza, n’iyo byafata igihe pe ariko aho byazagarukira bikaza bifite imbaraga kandi birimo ubushishozi kurusha ibi.”
Mani Martin na Bruce Melodie bahuriza ku kuba Leta ikwiye gushishikariza abashoramari gushora imari no mu ruganda rwa muzika nk’uko ibashishikariza gushora mu zindi mfuruka z’ubuzima bw’igihugu, aho bahamya ko umuziki ushowemo imari wagira uruhare runini mu iterambere ry’igihugu kuko abahanzi bishyura imisoro nk’abandi bacuruzi.
Bavuga ko byanatuma habaho ibihembo byinshi ku bahanzi ku buryo mu gihe Salax itabaye haba hariho ibindi bihembo, bityo bigafasha umuziki nyarwanda gutera imbere.
