Kira Municipality MP Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda has criticized President Museveni for what he termed as diminishing the significance of the presidential advisory role by appointing individuals like singer Edirisa Musuuza, professionally known as Eddy Kenzo.
Mr Ssemujju’s remarks came after President Museveni appointed Kenzo as a senior presidential adviser on creative.
Mr Kenzo, who is also the president of the Uganda National Musicians Federation, joins a growing list of musicians who have been appointed by the President as envoys and advisers in various capacities.
This list includes Mark Bugembe, alias Buchaman, who was appointed as the President’s special envoy to the ghetto, Catherine Kusasira as the Presidential Advisor on Kampala, and Jennifer Nakanguubi, commonly known as Full Figure.
Mr Ssemujju questioned how a musician like Kenzo, without any formal qualifications, could be considered for a presidential advisory role.
Reports indicate that President Museveni has over 100 advisors. END.
