Renowned Ugandan singer Priscilla Zawedde, popularly known as Azawi, has recently voiced her discontent with the prevailing state of affairs in Uganda.
Taking to her social media platform, Azawi lamented the dire conditions she witnessed during a recent performance in Zombo district, highlighting the glaring disparity between the heavy tax burden on citizens and the lack of tangible benefits for the common people.
Azawi expressed deep concern over the distressing living conditions faced by many Ugandans, emphasizing the disconnect between the substantial taxes paid by citizens and the inadequate provision of essential services, particularly for the most vulnerable segments of society.
Her poignant commentary questioned the rationale behind taxation when it seemingly only serves to enrich a select few, likening them to parasites preying on the impoverished masses.
The singer’s remarks shed light on the widespread socio-economic challenges plaguing various regions of Uganda, where access to basic necessities remains elusive for countless individuals. Despite the government’s purported efforts to combat corruption, Azawi pointed out the persisting prevalence of graft and embezzlement, with little to no accountability for those responsible.
