Music is a powerful tool in the world. It has been used in countries such as South Africa to bring to an end oppression.
Music icons Lucky Dube and Bob Marley, for example, among others, used their lyrics to send messages of hope and to call for the need for a better world.
Uganda’s case has been unique, too. Many artistes have been either openly or secretly involved in the politics of the country; some campaigning for their preferred candidates through their music, and some, like Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine, have gone an extra mile to take advantage of the musical platform to contest for elective positions. But some have done this to the chagrin of their supporters who accuse them of being money hungry.
Recently, musician Kalifah Aganaga real names Mukiibi Sadat declared his intentions to replace Kato Lubwama come 2021.
Kalifah confirmed that he would be contesting for the Lubaga south seat because the incumbent Kato Lubwana has absolutely done nothing in his reign.
Petrified Lubwama has openly come out to bash Kalifah Aganaga by branding him a weed addict. The legislator said Aganaga’s moves are driven by weed.
Kalifah is not the first musician to reveal his intentions to vie for a parliamentary seat come 2021. Geoffrey Lutaaya and Dr. Hilderman have already made their intentions clear to the public
