The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Maj Gen. Kale Kayihura has opened the lid on concerts and said that artistes who perform below the fans expectations would now be subject to criminal charges. The evidently irked police head cited the R.Kelly show which he branded as a rip off saying that the star should be charged for obtaining money by false pretence.
''I have now taken over. No concerts without my approval and a contract must be signed by all stakeholders. How many songs and how long the singer must stay on the stage. I can't afford seeing millions of people going for a riot because of security insensitive artistes"
"I was personally there and the way the man(Kelly) fled the stage, even when people were still entering, expressed he was himself guilty. Iam provided for in the constitution to detect and prevent disorder so, from today on, any contract must have a nod from police," he said.
Now I hear someone is bringing Beyonce, please tell him to report to me before I embarass him. The general added that Ugandans are hard working people whose money should not be put to waste. Ugandans are peaceful otherwise the R. Kelly story would be different.
