KAMPALA- Rubaga South MP Kato Lubwama and Theatrical Association Uganda Ltd have sued government for recently allowing an open music show by three Nigerian artistes yet their local counterparts were banned from performing due to Covid-19 restrictions.
In a December 17 suit, the performers cite selective enforcement of the law by security agencies regarding Covid-19 guidelines.
They contend that ever since President Museveni banned open air music concerts and other related cultural entertainment shows in March, they have adhered to the same.

Uganda’s physical environment is under threat. Soil fertility is declining and the crop production has dropped. Unpredictable rain patterns and flash floods disrupt agricultural planning and output while ruining life, livelihoods and infrastructure.
Put another way, Uganda is at war with mother nature through direct human interference or destruction of the planetary ecosystem. The lives of citizens are clinging on the edge due to climate change impact and environmental degradation. The situation is worsened by the increasing urbanisation.
