Lawyers representing the late Moses Ssekibogo, also known as Mowzey Radio have said they have never authorized anyone to release his new songs.
The Administrator General has ordered the management of Goodlyfe and Angel Music to stop any release or performance of the new songs left behind by the late singer.
In response to the letter, lawyers from Katende,Ssempebwa and Company Advocates say they have been concerned over reports that they had authorized the release of the songs which they says is untrue.
“The purpose of this letter is to categorically state that we have not been consulted , neither have we been in discussion with any party in relation to the release, sale or performance of the said musical works and have not authorized or sanctioned any form of release,” says the letter dated January 21 from the lawyers.
They say the late singer was a client to their law firm and that they will take whatever it takes to ensure his children benefit from his estate in all ways possible.
The lawyers also say they are aware of efforts by the Administrator General to streamline the estate of the late singer, noting that all efforts are welcome.
“We call upon your office to invoke your vested powers and authority under the law to protect the interests of the beneficiaries of the estate and we shall appreciate any enforcement efforts against any person or entity inter-meddling with the aforementioned estate,” the lawyers say.
The Administrator General in a January 14 letter warned the Goodlyfe management against release and performing of the late Mowzey Radio’s new songs.
The Goodlyfe management was set to release some of the new songs on January 29.
“The purpose of this letter is to inform you to cease and desist from any release, distribution and performance of any of the late Mowzey Radio’s unreleased musical works without express authorization from the Administrator General,” the letter by Irene Bayiga , the assistant Administrator General said.
“Any violation of the same will lead to both criminal and civil prosecution in courts of law.”
Mowzey Radio, a Ugandan vocal singer died on February 1, 2018 at Case hospital where he had been admitted after sustaining injuries on the head following a brawl at De Bar, the popular bar in Entebbe town.
Radio as he was famously called was a member of the Goodlyfe Crew that he co-owned with fellow singer Douglas Mayanja, also known as Weasle.
A number of songs that the singer had not released prior to his death have since been released to the public domain.
