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.
