Kira Municipality MP Ssemujju Nganda has come out to accuse President Museveni of watering down the presidential advisory role with the appointment of people such as Kenzo.
Hon Nganda has wondered how a musician like Eddy Kenzo who is a primary school dropout could be considered a presidential adviser.
The member of parliament said that the advisory position used to meaningful and people used to respect.
But ever since President Museveni started appointing whoever he wants things changed. Even the uneducated are advising the whole president of the country.
“If you look at the quality of the first people to be appointed presidential advisors, the likes of Prof George Kanyeihamba, Gen David Sejusa and Ephraim Kamuntu…it demeans that office when you begin appointing people including those with no knowledge and experience and elevate them to be your advisors,”
Ssemujju said he has no problem with Eddy Kenzo as he is a strong fan of his music. He just doesn’t think that he is fit to be a presidential advisor whatsoever.
“I like Kenzo as a singer and he has value, but I don’t think his value is in advising the president,”..
According to available information President Museveni is said to have over 150 advisors and now following a singer coming out to challenge him in Statehouse he has tapped a number of people from the arts industry to serve as his advisors so that he can silence them
