Singer Juliana Kanyomozi has come out to explain why she chose to support president after many of her fans criticizing her for the choice she made. In a Facebook post, the Twalina Omukwaano hit maker explains to her fans that she is a Ugandan too and she has a right to support whoever she wants. she posted:
“Ndi munnauganda nga abalala bonna. It means we all have the same fundamental rights regardless of our positions in society, or political beliefs, or even life experiences. But there’s one thing that brings us together, and thats humanity, obuntu. We are all from the human race.
There’s no need to use abusive, disrespectful, judgemental and insensitive language towards each other simply because of our different beliefs. That is not going to add any value to you or me. No need to use hateful speech to drive a point across. Let’s agree to disagree on certain things, but respectfully. Rather than try to intimidate me to believe in what you believe in…. You also have the choice to support me in this musical journey or not to. I see absolutely no problem in that. I may be a musician and public figure, but away from the glitz and glam,
I’m also a human being just like everybody else. When I started singing, it was never about getting rich or becoming famous. And till today, i dont base my happiness on those things because they come and go. I jus wanted to sing and thats what I still want to do, JUST SING and also continue to grow as a God fearing woman who respects her elders and love and love as much as i can. It doesn’t mean my life has been perfect,
I’ve been through some of the most painful experiences, just like most of you. But those values have not changed till today. I would rather sing for 10 people who will see me beyond the lights, camera, make up, hair extensions and high heels but see my soul, happiness, tears , pain and flaws, and still love me regardless. And I will be happy with that. Everything I do, I do for God and my country. Be blessed everyone.”
