We need president who can speak English, Cindy is right candidate - Bebe Cool

During a press conference held at his home on Wednesday 12, 2022, Cool reasoned that Cindy is a much better leader than King Saha.

He put in a dig at Saha saying Cindy has 50 times better qualities and qualifications compared to Saha who, he inadvertently states, doesn't know how to express himself in the official language.

"Being president involves constant lobbying, interacting with the different stakeholders that include government. We need a president who can speak English for starters. I only see Cindy as the right candidate," he added.

The "Nkuliyo" singer also added that Cindy and her team have so far done a good job of making the association credible with important stakeholders in the country. He asks musicians to let her accomplish the solid job she started.

“I’ve always been so passionate about Uganda arts, artists, and the Ugandan music industry as a whole. I’ve observed and experienced all the ups and downs the Ugandan industry has faced. I have also witnessed different UMA presidents abandon ship before their terms of office expire because of challenges within the arts industry. But Cindy even in the challenging Covid times withstood the pressure and kept moving. This resilience in her is proof she’s up for the task. Some artists might not agree with me because of their differences with Cindy but I believe those same differences forced other presidents to retire prematurely,” he concluded.

Preliminary to the final elections happening on Monday 23 May this year, all three candidates are going to face off in a debate on Saturday 21st May.
