BOBI WINE: I Left My Comfort to Bring Change in Uganda
Kyaddondo East Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known by his artistic stage name Bobi Wine, has been in the news in recent months because of his fierce criticism of President Yoweri Museveni’s repressive regime that has, for years, narrowed Uganda’s democratic space.
For his troubles, Bobi Wine has been violently arrested, incarcerated, tortured and produced both in military and civic courts to face what many would agree are trumped up charges.
Africa Uncensored’s John-Allan Namu caught up with Bobi during his recent visit to Kenya and interviewed him as part of our ongoing collaboration with The Elephant.
