"Never get swayed by bullying on the net. If I were to get distracted, I would not be deputy president," Gachagua said.

The DP stated that in the Creative Industry, lies great potential of transforming the lives and livelihoods of the people, especially the youth.

"Besides the rich entertainment, the Creatives are a sure way of preserving and promoting our tradition and cultural values," he said.
