The Chief Coordinator of Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) Gen Salim Saleh has slammed musicians for flocking to his home in Gulu City, Northern Uganda to seek handouts.
“Musicians, I am tired of you. That one I have to do it on camera. You have taken a lot of my time. I have not even had time to meet the NRM (National Resistance Movement) people. Can you imagine!” he said.
According to Gen Saleh who’s also President Museveni’s younger brother, musicians took over several entertainment umbrella bodies through which government had planned to support them but continue to flock to his home seeking financial support.
The musicians’ frequent visits and daily interruptions have reportedly left Gen Saleh with little time to do other development works.
“Because when it is morning, I am meeting Buchaman (Mark Bugembe), in the afternoon I’m meeting Ragga Dee (Daniel Kazibwe), in the evening I’m meeting manya Odongo Romeo. So, when will I work on the other Kirabira there? You’re wasting my time. I have told you that I’m finished with you,” Gen Saleh, born Caleb Akandwanaho, said at a trade fair in Gulu City, where several musicians, including Buchaman, Omulangira Suuna, real name Emmanuel Suuna and Ragga Dee were in attendance.
