Ssegirinya And Ssewanyana To Spend Christmas In Prison.

Hon. Ssegirinya Muhammad and Hon. Allan Ssewanyana will spend their festive season in prison while their family members and lawyers prepare for the next court hearing.

The hearing of this case was meant to happen on September 1st 2022, presided over by Justice Alice Komuhangi Khaukha, who was, unfortunately, absent on that day, leaving the two with no trial Judge until today morning, September 5th, 2022, when the registrar Pamela Lamunu Ocaya adjourned the case.

The International Crimes Division of the High Court has set February 20th, 2023, for the pre-trial proceeding for the two Members of Parliament, Muhammad Ssegirinya and Allan Ssewanyana, which is meant to help them apply for bail.

This means that the two MPs will be spending the festive season in prison for the second time in a row, and they are left with a few weeks to make two years in prison without bail.

Ssegirinya and Ssewanyana have been remanded at Kitalya Government prisons on charges of murder, terrorism, and attempted murder relating to the wave of Machete murders that hit the Greater Masaka region last year.

Uganda’s superstar, Eddy Kenzo will be squaring off with Nigerian superstar Burna Boy with his Last hit, and Rocky Dawuni and Blvk H3ro (Ghana) with Neva Bow Down.

Eddy Kenzo is once again proving he’s a musical juggernaut on the international stage after bagging a nomination in the 2022 Grammy Awards.

The Grammy nominees for this year were announced Tuesday night by the Recording Academy.

Other songs in the category are Udhero Na by Arooj Aftab & Anoushka Shankar (Pakistan) and Bayethe by Wouter Kellerman, Zakes Bantwini & Nomcebo Zikode (South Africa).

Kenzo received international recognition after the release of his 2014 single, “Sitya Loss” whose video earned him a BET Award. The award is also Uganda’s and East Africa’s only BET Award to date.

Big Eye reveals why he disrupted Eddy Kenzo’s concert.

During the Eddy Kenzo Festival at Kololo Airstrip on Saturday, while performing, Ibrahim Mayanja, well known as Big Eye Starboss was seen involved in a scuffle with a deejay on stage.

While performing at the Eddy Kenzo Festival, Big Eye, requested the DJ to play his latest song one more time as he makes his way off the stage, but instead, the DJ played King Michael’s song.

This annoyed Big Eye and attacked the Deejay and they had to be separated by bouncers at the concert

Many people who attended the show say that Starboss wanted to use it to steal Eddy Kenzo’s shine and make news.

“Ndi Single” hitmaker revealed that he was infuriated by the fact that he has invested a lot of time and money in the new song and he couldn’t understand why the deejay would refuse to play it.

“I came to sing and have fun still. How could he have refused to play my latest song, my favourite song. You don’t know how much I have invested to put that song in place,” he said.
