This is after it was deemed that his song Burn Dem had homophobic lyrics. And it incited violence against homosexuals.
The former MP missed a lot of activities in the UK both from the time he was still an active musician to just recently when he became a mainstream politician.
It, however, now seems his stance about the matter seems to have softened hence the ban being lifted. A few months ago, he expressed excitement through his X page on how the ban had been lifted.
Consequently, he traveled to the UK yesterday and shared the news via his social media pages. He posted on his X page saying “London, it’s been 10 long years!.”

Meanwhile, the nature of his visit to the UK is yet to be ascertained. However, he has been to several European countries and North America. He seems to enjoy widespread support from both Ugandans there and politicians in those countries.
It should also be recalled that in August, he missed the premiere of his film, The People’s President which took place in England.
Several of his supporters took to his social media pages to congratulate him over this achievement. They believe that it will be key in helping them emancipate themselves from the current regime.
Some people also called him a coward because they believe he went against the beliefs that he expressed in his songs.
He apparently chickened out on them just to be in the good books of the UK government and LGBTQ community.
A few Ugandans claiming to be homosexuals have recently fled to the UK, some of these being renowned. They include former comedian, Kele Kele, TikToker Arthur Kayima and musician Rhoda K.

![[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.
