Stella Nyanzi Blames President Museveni For Death Of Mowzey Radio

RIP: Moses Ssekibogo a.k.a Mowzey Radio

Following the sudden death of Uganda's music icon, Moses Nakintije Ssekibogo a.k.a Mowzey Radio, Ugandans have all tried to make sense of all the unending killings that have continually hovered over the music artists in Uganda.

Makerere University Don, Dr. Stella Nyanzi’s take is latest version. Dr. Nyanzi as in many of her previous tiffs with government, pounces hard on the president putting it to him that his failed policies are the reason innocent Ugandans continue to die. “For thirty-three years of Mowzey Radio's life, dictator Museveni only paid lip service to the health services of Uganda.” She says.

In a long text that she published this morning, Saturday, February 3, 2018 on social media, Dr. Nyanzi, insists that for thirty-three years, the emergency health services, and the specialised health services of this country have been a death-trap for the poor because Musevenism instilled a culture of flying the rich abroad to buy health care.

The erudite and controversial researcher has thrown jibes to the President, holding him responsible, piling blame, and faulting him as the principal cause of Mowzey Radio’s death.  “And then Mozey Radio died! The foolish dictator, as if bewitched, paid thirty million shilings to a failed health system to try and buy Radio's health back through the very health services neglected for years.”

On Tuesday morning, January 23, 2018 Radio sustained the injuries at De Bar where he was reportedly involved in a bar fight with one of the bouncers who beat him up to the extent that he fell and hit his head on the floor thus breaking his neck.

He was then rushed to Nsambya Hospital where doctors declined to admit him because the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was full.

His friends then transferred him to Case Clinic on Buganda Road, Kampala where he’d been undergoing treatment until he succumbed to death.

To Dr. Nyanzi, it is Museveni's wanton patronage that kills such painfully!

In the same context, she turned to the increasing elusiveness of men – those that run away from responsibility in their families. This followed the sudden appearance of one, Katongole who earlier this week, showed up all the way from Fort Portal, to the funeral of Mowzey Radio and claiming he was the singer’s biological father – although he had hitherto not looked after his son. This, Dr. Nyanzi also he holds President responsible…

“For thirty-three years of Mozey Radio's life, Katongole remained silent about his alleged faherhood of this child,” she writes.

“Just like the other emasculated men living under Museveni's reign of terror, Katongole neglected his role as father and mentor. But when Radio died a famous musician, this shameless man claimed him as a son befitting a burial in the ancestral graveyard! Being a man in Museveni's Uganda is greatly a curse: poverty, hopelessness, resignation, and lawlessness have reduced responsible masculinity to the core.”

This is part of her statement: “Museveni's toxic leadership has bashed the balls of the men in our land.

For thirty-three years of Mozey Radio's life, the church was silent about the lifestyle of Uganda's musicians and celebs. Religious leaders happily neglected the extravagances, debauchery, violence and lawlessness of our musicians. Their baskets gladly received the tithes and offerings of our musicians, but totally ignored ministering to their everyday needs.”

“But as Mozey Radio lay stone-cold and still in his beautiful casket, the Reverend Father shamelessly pounded away about his sinful life full of violence. Being a (religious) leader in Museveni's Uganda is a mockery to the gods! Museveni's excellent example of pure misgovernance through neglect has even stained the priesthood.”

“In his death, Mozey Radio has shone a light upon the failed leadership running throughout the fabric of Ugandan society. The rot in Museveni's Uganda runs so deep that having failed to bribe the failing healthcare system to resuscitate Radio, dictator Museveni vomitted another eighty million shillings towards the vigil and funeral costs.”

“Clearly, Museveni is a thieving cow-herdsman. How else would he finance this ostentatious patronage? The dictators steal from the national coiffers to oil systems of patronage. Men with nowhere to steal, neglect their sons until death. And in our deaths, the merciless priesthood is dooming us all to hell. Uganda is a burning furnace!”
