I say kudos!!! At least they are not asking China to foot the bill, as they did when China built the new $200 million African Union offices in Addis.
Let us support our writers and artists for, as Chris Abani once said, "they are the curators of our humanity."

Ilo Facebook,
Apparently, the 2016 Budget includes this curious item:
PAYMENT OF COUNTRY CONTRIBUTIONS TO PAN - AFRICAN WRITERS ASSOCIATION (PAWA) 208,000,000
That is an annual contribution of close to $1 million for a relatively unknown writers' association. It seems steep. And why is the Federal government footing the bill? I googled PAWA and came up with this site. I wonder what ANA or anyone has to say about this. Just curious.
