BET International has now praised Eddy Kenzo for his historic and noble donation of his awards to the country’s collection centre of artifacts and other objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or scientific importance.

“The definition of being wealthy means sharing what you have been blessed to receive. @eddykenzo thank you for being such a wonderful example to follow,” BET posted on Instagram.

Eddy Kenzo is the second composer to donate something prestigious to Uganda Museum.

In 2017, the family of the late Prof George Wilberforce Kakoma, the composer of the National Anthem, has donated to the Uganda Museum his Bernhard Steiner piano.
