Chameleone apologises for missing Bobi Wine’s campaigns

Must read

A day after singer Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine won the Kyadondo East parliamentary election, veteran musician Jose Chameleone was one of the first people to apologise for not having campaigned for him.

Performing at Lugogo Cricket Oval, where Bobi Wine made a surprise attendance, the ‘Wale Wale’ hitmaker brought his show to a halt to apologise to Bobi Wine.

“Congratulations to my brother, Hon Bobi Wine who just won a parliamentary seat. As you have been busy campaigning, I was also busy organizing this (the show) and that’s why I failed to make it to your campaign trail,” he said in presence of hundreds of fans that turned up.

“With Bobi Wine’s victory, we (artistes) now have a voice in Parliament. You know, most of those people (MPs) don’t respect us. They are reckless when handling public work but I think your victory has sent a perfect message to them; ‘If they have failed to do what they are supposed to do, then we (musicians) will join parliament and do it ourselves,” Chameleone charged.

Some of the policies he was complaining about is the one ordering all concerts in Kampala to end by midnight.

Chameleone then turned to police that had come to enforce the policy. “I love these people (KCCA officials and police) but the bad thing they disrespect us a lot. They think we are uneducated. If you want me to end the show, let Jenifer Musisi (KCCA Executive director) come here and tell it to me by herself,” he roared.

“Good thing is, now that we have Bobi Wine in Parliament, all this will come to an end. You know I once tried politics but it failed to work out and that’s why I stuck to music. My younger brother, Bobi Wine, go deal with them that side as I also deal with them this side (musically),” he added.

Meanwhile, Chameleone was later allowed to perform beyond midnight, belting out some of his classics beyond 1am to the mammoth crowd that turned up for the show.
