Mathias Walukaga is bitter again. Not with a fellow artiste or Salongo Michael Kasawuli aka Samona this time; the singer has been angered by an unnamed radio station that has ‘consistently’ refused to play his songs.

“Lwaki olowooza nti njakuggwa kuba oweze okuzanya enyimba zange ku radio? Loosely translated as ‘Why do you think I will fail simply because you don’t play my songs on your radio station?” he rants. Walukaga, a renowned Kadongo Kamu singer adds: “Omuyimbi aggwa butayiiya nakubulwa kyebetaaga, meaning ‘a musician only fails due to lack of creativity and failure to come up with what fans want’.
Though he is yet to mention the name of the station, his fans have been quick point accusing fingers at Central Broadcasting Services (CBS), the Buganda kingdom semi official station. Apparently it’s the station that doesn’t play his songs.
