All is not well for singers Moses Ssali aka Bebe Cool and newly appointed presidential adviser Catherine Kusasira.
Sources close to State House have told Watchdog Uganda that last week, teh two self proclaimed head bazukulu were blocked as they tempted to seek for an appointment to meet President Museveni.
The sources say the duo wanted to meet the President to discuss with him preparations for him to meet all artistes – singers, actors, comedians – and other stakeholders in the entertainment industry.
But being usual Statehouse visitors, the frustrated officials asked them (Kusasira and Bebe Cool) why they are always representing fellow artistes when it comes to meeting the President.
“Why do you want to always meet the President on behalf of all the artistes in Uganda? Show us evidence that you are backed by all Ugandan artistes, drama actors and comedians or if they authorized you to plan for them this function of meeting the President,” a source quoted the State House officials as having said.
The duo reportedly just stammered, forcing state house officials to ban them from having any private discussions with the President.
“We are done with them unless the President orders us to bring them,” source noted. “Otherwise they will only meet him on public gatherings or somewhere else but they will never be put on a State House program to meet the Head of State.
Apparently,now the job of coordinating artistes has been given to singers Daniel Kazibwe aka Ragga Dee, Sophie Gombya, the Chairperson of the artistes association and promoter/manager Emma Carlos.
‘Big Size’ and ‘Enkola Ya Taxi’ singer are yet to make an official statement.
