Bugweri District woman representative in Parliament, also a singer with Afrigo Band Racheal Magoola has advised police to immediately arrest and detain artists who dress up and perform in skimpy ways.
The “Obangaina” hitmaker claims that these contribute a lot to the poor praising of the next generation, and that also Uganda has some cultural norms that need to be preserved. Magoola says that its the public figures that dress indecently most.
“Musicians now perform in outfits that reveal almost everything, and this has become acceptable, police should intervene and arrest those who dress indecently because young people, particularly girls and even some adults, are copying these trends. How can a parent encourage their child to dress decently if they themselves wear whatever they want?” Magoola said during a breakfast meeting at Kampala’s Fairway Hotel, which focused on combating child sexual violence.
Magoola called for a return to traditional values, hoping this would help preserve Uganda’s social norms, which she believes are being eroded by modern influences.
