Singer Jose Chameleone has appealed to president Museveni to forgive fellow singer/parliamentarian Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine.
In a post shared on Chameleone’s social media pages, Chameleone asked the president to a symbol of forgiveness to the nation by releasing the detained Kyandondo East Member of Parliament who is expected to face court martial today (Thursday) to answer treason charges.
Chameleone, real names Joseph Mayanja, put aside his long spanning wrangles with Bobi Wine to garner support for Bobi Wine in a letter to president Museveni that has received close to 800 comments and 700 shares within an hour of posting.
Below is Chameleone’s full post.
