Musician Jose Chameleone yesterday addressed the media about his much talked about One Million concert. The event that took place at Serena hotel was attended by several other personalities like Judith Heard who came to show support for the concert.
While addressing the press, Chameleone continued to stress the fact the concert is not for his own selfish gains but rather to support the underprivileged people in the Karamoja region.
“As an artist, I am a tool of development. I want to invest my tool and contribute towards change in Karamoja. One borehole goes for about 1,200,000 Uganda Shillings. If we can be patriotic and attend the 1 Man│1 Show│1 Million concert, we can possibly raise money for 100 boreholes that would be a big development in Karamoja.” Chameleone continued to say, “Karamoja doesn’t have pit latrines and digging a pit latrine costs about 400,000 Uganda Shillings. Constructing 50 pit latrines in Karamoja makes a big difference.”
The “Wale Wale” hitmaker who was in company of his wife Daniella said the One Million concept is his way of trying to use music as a tool for national development. He further revealed he expects about 200 people to attend the concert come December and promised to give revelers a show that is worth their money.
