Elderly and MPs with religious background on Monday took to the floor to slam musicians, Cinderella Sanyu and Sheebah Karungi for allegedly showcasing their bodies in public during their musical concert/ battle in Kampala on Friday.

They are now demanding the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance to offer guidance to Uganda, a conservative East African country, before the whole nation sinks into ‘immorality.’

Only one thing should be exposed, the Blessed Sacrament, but not the breasts,” said Onen, a former Catholic priest.
Bufumbira East MP, Nsaba Buturo (NRM) said the poor dress code in the music industry could be partly the reasons many artistes after leaving the stage, tend to disappear in oblivion.
According to him, many musicians are investing in nudity instead of contributing positively to the protection and promotion of Uganda’s values……..CONTINUE READING……..
