Ugandan Police ban popular musician turned politician, Bobi Wine from performing at concerts
Police in Uganda have refused to give permission for an event which
was to be headlined by Afrobeats artist-turned-politician Bobi Wine
because he "uttered words that are inciteful to the public".
He had made the offending comments during a previous concert, the
police said. The lawmaker, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, is now
under investigation for the remarks.
Since being elected to parliament in June, Mr Wine has been a thorn
to the governing NRM party. He is among opposition MPs who have been
opposing a plan to scrap the presidential age limit, which is currently
75.
Removal of the age limit is seen as a plot to remove barriers that
would allow 73-year-old President Yoweri Museveni to run in 2021.
