Musician turned Kyadondo East MP, Bobi Wine has revealed that he was left in shock after he was blocked from speaking at a school function in his constituency over the weekend.
This was at Gayaza Junior School’s celebrations where he had been invited as the area representative in parliament.
The “Time Bomb” singer made this revelation while addressing media reports that he had allegedly refused to cut cake with Buganda premier Charles Peter Mayiga, who was the guest of honour at the function.
He vehemently denied the allegations and noted that by the time the cake was cut, he was long gone as he had three more functions to attend.
He went on to add that he waited at the ceremony for five hours for a chance to address the guests in vain.
“I was denied opportunity to speak at an important function in the heart of Kyadondo East!
I was at the function from 10am to 3pm (5hrs) and as protocol was being ‘observed’, many of the guests who were invited but didn’t show up had their representatives speak on their behalf.
Just at the point when the area M.P. was to be invited to welcome the Guest of Honour, the C.A.O’s representative was instead invited to perform that role.
My assistant tried to find out from the M.C. whether it was a mistake and they were bluntly informed that they had strict instructions NOT TO LET ME SPEAK.”
