With Kadongo Kamu singer Gerald Kiweewa and the Bizonto comedy group facing tough times last week when security operatives arrested them, social-political activist Frank Gashumba was in jubilation mode.
The seasoned motivational speaker shared his view about the arrest of Bizonto and Kiweewa when he expressed that the pair had to face such trying times.
He hit out at the Bizonto comedy group stating that, for long, they have been coming up with mocking and demeaning comedy skits whenever people like him got detained.
Frank Gashumba added that whenever the president comes for a certain group or section of people, he only continues to thank him reasoning that it acts as an alert to several others to understand that the whole nation is locked up.
When security operatives arrested comedy group outfit Bizonto and Gerald Kiweewa, I said thank you, Jesus.
Yes, those Bizonto comedians have been coming up with mocking and demeaning comedy skits about us whenever we could get arrested.
Whenever the president Museveni touches on a certain group of people, I just merely thank him very much because now at least everyone is starting to know that we are all locked up.

He made the remarks while responding to a question of whether he would love to join the rest of the artists in fighting against the new proposed rules and regulations that are set to govern creatives in Uganda.
Before he declined to join artists in fighting the proposed new regulations, Frank Gashumba began by trashing the creatives noting how we have no talented people in Uganda and later on called everyone a sketcher.
First of all, the #FreeMyTalent does not exist here in Uganda. It is not their reason that we have no talent in Uganda lately.
All the entertainers in Uganda are just sketching life. During our Youthful age, creative men like Alex Mukulu could sit down and come up with stage plays that could fill National Theater to capacity and sells out for almost two months something that no longer exists.
The bad thing, this is a generation where everyone has given himself a title. It is the generation where you will find a pastor who can read or recite a bible verse. You will find people who call themselves marines yet they can’t even swim.
So everywhere, everyone is just sketching life which merely implies that we do not have creative arts here, period.
Frank Gashumba
Frank Gashumba went ahead to stress that what killed creative arts in Uganda is the ‘Fix it now’ issue where those in the creative industry do not spare enough time to come up with skits that will impress people for a long time.

Top Police authorities are slated to meet the Katikkiro of Buganda Charles Peter Mayiga this morning to tackle the security raid on a thanksgiving function organized by the Mbogo clan head, and religious leaders at Mugulu in Mityana town over last weekend.
Mobogo Clan head, Kayiira Gajuule had invited Bishop Emeritus John Baptist Kaggwa the retired Bishop of Masaka Diocese to grace the thanksgiving ceremony when anti-riot police stormed the area and sprayed teargas to disperse everyone.
This incident has since drawn widespread criticism from both Buganda kingdom loyalists who have since marched to Bulange Mengo demanding an apology from the Police besides the public condemning police actions
Just yesterday afternoon,. Police were forced to use teargas and live bullets to disperse a group of Buganda loyalists at Mityana municipality protesting the incident and demanding that District Police Commander, Alex Mwine Mukono unconditionally releases all the motorcycles he confiscated during the raid.
This compelled the police boss IGP Martin Okoth Ochola to apologize to the bishop and the Catholic Church.
The police political commissar led by a team of senior officers announced that they would be visiting Bishop Kaggwa at his home to announce their apology to his family and the church on behalf of IGP Ochola .
On Monday, the police spokesperson Fred Enanga apologized to the Catholic Church defending the police action on preventing the spread of COVID19.

Now according to the Buganda kingdom spokesperson Noah Kiyimba, a meeting between the Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga and the top police leadership is scheduled for 11:00 am at Bulange Mengo.
