When he popped up on the social scenes early last year, many thought he was just another socialite with a few dollars to splash for a few months and then blow up like a bubble. But hey, looks like Brian Kilumira better known as Bryn White is here to stay and so is his philanthropy.
Over the weekend, while in Mbarara for the official launch of his foundation, the Brian White Foundation, the city money bags, visited Mbarara referral hospital where he donated hundreds of items to the patients and later to schools and orphanages, before wrapping it up at Kakyeeka Stadium where the main event was held.
Locals thronged the stadium as Bryan extended his love by offering hundreds of items worth millions of shillings including sacks of Posho and financial support to different youth groups among many other things. This all happened with a thrill of electrifying performances from top Ugandan artistes. Madrat and Chiko, Alex Muhangi, and Weasel were some of the highlight acts of the day.
However, right from the hospital down to the stadium, Bryan’s entourage was startled as many excited locals were encouraging and advising White to stand for presidency. Meanwhile, it remains that Bryan’s intentions are still a mystery to many who still question his source of money. Some say he was sent to grab the youth for the ruling government and divert all attention from Bobi Wine who is in opposition.
