Kyadondo East lawmaker and National Unity Platform (NUP) Principal, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine has accused government security organs of playing double standards on individuals and groups that oppose the ruling government.

The singer made the claims in connection to the arrest of fellow artiste Kasendwa Richard alias Ziza Bafana by government security officials. He says he is under detention illegally for not supporting Museveni and not necessarily defying COVID19 directives.

“Our brother ZizaBafana is under illegal detention, ostensibly for defying Gen. Museveni’s directives on COVID19,” he said.

Bafana and his colleagues went to sing in Tanzania and upon return, were quarantined together with his team for the mandatory two weeks. After 14 days, they were handed over to police instead of being allowed home as expected. Bafana has been complaining of mistreatment while in quarantine, including being deprived of food, harassment, etc.

“Bafana’s real crime is in fact not related to COVID19. He says it is simply because when he was in Tanzania, he spoke about Bobi Wine and promoted People Power on stage,” Bobi Wine said, insinuating that Bafana is being prosecuted for singing about People Power while under quarantine.

Bobi Wine insinuated that if at all Bafana’s crime was related COVID19, thousands of NRM politicians should now be in custody.

“Many singers who have been singing at NRM rallies should be under detention. Gen. Museveni himself was in Tanzania on the weekend. It is very shameful that a government can treat citizens this way and punish them simply for identifying with a political leader or political formation,” Bobi Wine added.

Bobi Wine vowed to not cease fire until only when his counterpart is released.

Aganaga who wants to stand for the Parliamentary seat in Lubaga South on National Unity Platform (NUP) ticket said he will if necessary seek for help from controversial lawyer, Male Mabirizi’s to see that Lubwama’s academic qualifications are produced and debunked.

“Lubwama is an old man now and was sent to Parliament by the people out of sympathy. And we are many individuals contesting on that same position, but he keeps talking about me because it’s me he fears, I am the one that makes him sick,” the youthful singer bragged, insinuating that Kato Lubwama is currently spending so much of his time in hospital because he is worried he might lose his seat to him.

The veteran singer cum politician said Aganaga is so amateur to him and has to first learn a few basic things in the business before he contests against him.

“Aganaga should first learn how to bathe, and clean his shoes so that they don’t smell for people before he attacks me,” the drama actor said, adding that he is not poor because for the past 35 years, he has built a big brand in the entertainment industry.

Lubwama, who had earlier requested voters to send him back to parliament promising to ‘eat’ with them this time.
