• Munyagwa warns Kasuku that the Shs5 billion could create conflict among bloggers.
  • He says the money may seem large but will shrink when shared.
  • He also weighs in on Lil Pazo’s criticism of Eddy Kenzo and Bebe Cool, saying musicians often act in self-interest.

Former Member of Parliament Mubarak Munyagwa has advised media personality Kasuku to tread carefully following the Shs5 billion pledge he recently received from Yoweri Museveni to support the bloggers’ circle.

Kasuku secured the funding during the Jazz with Jazz 2 edition event, where the President extended financial support aimed at empowering bloggers. However, Munyagwa cautions that the money could easily turn into a source of conflict if not well managed.

According to Munyagwa, many bloggers already believe they are entitled to a share of the funds, which could create tension and unrealistic expectations. He noted that while Shs5 billion sounds like a huge sum, dividing it among many beneficiaries could leave each person with very little.

Munyagwa further suggested that since Kasuku reportedly secured a second meeting with President Museveni and First Lady Janet Museveni, he should consider lobbying for his own personal support instead of directly handling the bloggers’ funds.

“If Kasuku is not careful, this Shs5 billion will bring him problems. Everyone thinks they have a share in it,” Munyagwa warned.

“Five billion sounds like a lot of money, but once you start distributing it, it becomes peanuts,” he added.

Munyagwa also commented on remarks made by musician Lil Pazo at the same event, where he accused fellow artists like Eddy Kenzo and Bebe Cool of sidelining him in efforts to meet President Museveni.

He argued that many musicians operate in self-interest, often aligning themselves with the government to advance their careers. Munyagwa claimed that it would be difficult for Lil Pazo to displace Kenzo from the President’s circle, especially given Kenzo’s long-standing relationship with the Head of State.

He also referenced Bobi Wine, noting that political alignments continue to shape conversations within the entertainment industry.
