Tag: Ugandans at Heart

Uganda will hold its next general elections in 2021. But already about seven musicians and actors have revealed their intentions to vie for political positions in Parliament. But he is particularly disturbed by the fact that artists get divided when they join politics. ‘‘Why should we go on dividing ourselves like that and even failing to come to work to together, for something that is going to help the people. If we are bringing in that then we are failing our people’‘, he added. Because people have the power, we are nothing without the people. Mujuuka, Kiyaga, Mayinja and Namulindwa will be contesting against ruling national resistance movement party candidates who have held those positions for more than twenty years. Kyadondo East Member of Parliament, Robert Kyagulanyi also known as Bobi Wine is pleased that a good number of his colleagues in the arts industry are joining politics. However, not all artists who have joined politics in the past had Ugandans at heart. ‘‘We have two types of artists, some of them just want to survive and they will occupy office and don’t care what they represent, and then others are going to represent and be the reflection of the people they represent’‘, the artist turned politician added.
