The Kamuli Municipality political contest is gaining momentum, with National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag bearer Mastula Namatovu placing talent development at the centre of her campaign message.
Her commitment was on full display during the recent “Kim Nana For You” concert held at Country Club, headlined by rising Busoga artist Muyobo Dauda, popularly known as Kim Nana. The event, which attracted large numbers of youth, was fully financed by Hon. Matsuula and her campaign team as a demonstration of their dedication to nurturing young talent through her initiative, Zharafa Music.
Speaking at the concert, Mastula, also known by her slogan Ekidhuuma Ekito, said that although she is actively campaigning, she believes talent development is a key pathway to empowering young people and building a productive community.
She highlighted ongoing activities such as the Mozey Christmas Cup, a sports event organised by her team, as examples of platforms where young people are being supported to showcase and grow their abilities.
Kim Nana, one of Busoga’s fast-rising artists with the national hit song “Osina”, credited Zharafa Music for helping open new opportunities for him and other musicians from Busoga North. The agency aims to elevate more young artists into Uganda’s entertainment industry.
Mastula pledged continued support for all forms of talent, saying she will prioritise youth initiatives that add value to society. She also encouraged young people to form SACCOs to enable her office and other stakeholders to support them more effectively through organised groups.
