The legendary performer Moses Matovu has spoken out against MP Joseph Ssewungu, who appeared to want to direct his performance over the weekend.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, Ssewungu stepped on the stage and appeared to request songs for Matovu to sing.
Being an experienced performer, Matovu immediately exploded at the MP’s instructions.
“Your parliament is fake. Nothing is decided during the plenary,” Matovu visibly fumed.
Matovu asserted that Ssewungu intended to politicize the event.
“We fed up with you people wanting to politize everything. It must stop. Some of us are tired,” he said.
He requested freedom to pursue his interests because he wasn’t prepared to follow instructions.
Matovu started singing in 1965 when he was the lead vocalist for the Thunderbirds band. In 1975, he joined Afrigo Band as one of the eight founding members; they started as a small group playing at small parties and clubs in Kampala.
