Uganda Police has finally okayed Kyarenga Concert which is slated for November 10, 2018 at One Love Beach Busabaala.
In a letter dated 30th October 2018, IGP Okoth Ochola directed Kampala Metropolitan police commander to provide security on the due date.
“Reference is made to the above subject matter in relation to the request made by the Firebase Entertainment to hold the Kyarenga Album launch. Liaise with the organizers and appropriately provide the required services,” reads the letter signed by AIGP Asuman Mugenyi on behalf of the IGP.
Uganda Police called off the concert early this month arguing that the organizers hadn’t been cleared by the Namboole management while the second attempt received a red flag from FUFA, the football governing body in the country citing delicacy of the pitch ahead of the AFCON qualifier game against Cape Verde slated for 17th November.
The other attempt was again blocked by the Namboole management arguing that the said venue was already booked for a wedding reception though unconfirmed reports later indicated that the said wedding never existed.
