I feel bad for Bobi Wine - Bebe Cool

Singer Moses Ssali alias Bebe Cool has said he sympathises with colleague, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine whose concert in Busabala has been cancelled.

Bebe Cool who himself has police deployment to secure his show in Kiwatule, now says he feels bad for Bobi Wine but only blames his organisers for failure to fulfil requirements.

“I

feel bad for Bobi Wine, but it is his organisers that did bad to advertise the

concert before getting clearance from Authorities. I am a friend to President

Museveni but I went through all procedures,” Bebe Cool said.

Bebe

Cool claims he was cleared last month by the police after fulfilling all

requirements asked.

“I

was cleared by Police about a month ago. I took all letters that I was asked

for including the one from KCCA and a receipt that showed that I had an ambulance

that would be at the venue,” Bebe Cool added.

However,

Bebe Cool insists his support for the National Resistance Movement (NRM) has

nothing to do with the clearance of his show.

“Kiwatule has nothing to do with whether I support NRM or not, I

am past that issue. I am an artiste and I follow what police tells me. If

police tells me not to do so, I abide with the rules,” Bebe Cool claims.

Meanwhile, the Uganda Police Force has deployed heavily at

musician and legislator Robert Kyagulanyi’s (aka Bobi Wine) One Love Beach,

Busabala along Entebbe road.

Bobi

Wine had planned to hold a Boxing Day concert at his One Love Beach but police

has said the music show will not take place. Speaking earlier, Police

spokesperson Emilian Kayima said the show’s organisers had not sought

permission from the authorities to hold the show.

Bobi Wine has insisted that the music show will go ahead.

However, police has deployed heavily at the scene. They have also teargassed

several early revellers who tried to gain entry to One Love Beach. Police is

using the infamous pink coloured teargas last used on former Forum for

Democratic Party president Dr Kizza Besigye.

Police

also fired live bullets to disperse crowds that had started to gather at One

Love Beach.

“Police

continues to expose itself as criminal and unjust,” Bobi Wine said.
