Police and the military have banned musicians from moving with gangs to perform at end-of-year fetes in Kampala and upcountry to avoid causing unnecessary commotion.
During a planning meeting attended by security commanders in Kampala Metropolitan, each musician will not be allowed to access entertainment or worship venues with more than four people.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Luke Owoyesigyire, the deputy Kampala metropolitan police spokesperson, said the security would only allow a maximum of four people to accompany a musician and they must also explain what their roles are.
