In a recent twist of events, Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF) President, Eddy Kenzo, has taken the reins in responding to Bobi Wine’s accusations about the federation’s financial expectations from the government. The exchange of words unfolded at the NUP headquarters, where Bobi Wine criticized musicians for allegedly diverting taxpayers’ money from vital projects.
Eddy Kenzo, with an air of disappointment, addressed Bobi Wine’s apparent lack of knowledge on the matter. He urged the opposition figure to surround himself with more informed individuals who could furnish him with accurate information before making weighty allegations.
Setting the record straight, Kenzo revealed that the government’s commitment to supporting the music industry stands at Ugx 13B. This amount is significantly lower than the inflated figures mentioned by Bobi Wine, reflecting a stark contrast between reality and the claims made by the NUP leader.
Additionally, underscoring the baselessness of Bobi Wine’s accusations, Eddy Kenzo emphasized that these allegations were a mere attempt to tarnish the hard-earned reputation of musicians and the federation. The UNMF president asserted that the music industry is prepared to counter such false claims, standing firm against any attempts to sully their image with misinformation.
In an active voice, Kenzo expressed the federation’s determination not to let their reputation be tarnished by unfounded claims. Finally, the president’s response paints a vivid picture of a music industry ready to defend itself against any misinformation, showcasing a united front against attempts to discredit their contributions and the government’s support.
