While appearing in an interview with NBS TV KURT presenter Tuff B, the singer said he’s not the problem but rather a signal.
He added that all he did was to reawaken the artists and show them how much influence they have. The politician added that he’s not the one with the power to change the world. Rather, it’s the people he has empowered.
The NUP principal went ahead to quote legendary American deceased rapper Tupac.
“I’m not the whole entertainment industry but just a signal that has shown what the artists and other people are capable of. It’s why the government has tightened laws against artists. They are afraid of another Bobi Wine coming up as a threat. Tupac said that I cannot change the world but I guarantee you that I will spark the rest to cause change.” the singer said.
Ever since the singer-turned politician joined active politics, a number of stringent laws have been brought up on to the arts industry.
Even some entertainers have blamed the singer for the continued ban on the music industry.
Some of them claim that whenever Bobi Wine gets on stage, he misuses it to insult President Museveni.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
