Mr. Toyota Nuwagira who poses as the chairperson of Team ‘Muhoozi Kainerugaba’ has pledged several buses to fill Kololo Independence grounds where BEA award winning artiste Eddy Kenzo is to throw a mega festival on November 12.
The first edition of the Eddy Kenzo festival encountered a mega flop after government in light of the COVID-19 pandemic opted to suspend all festivals and concerts as a precautionary measure to contain the deadly contagion that had struck the world.
Weeks to the 2021 polls, Kenzo crossed from the opposition People Power movement in favour of the ruling NRM party citing neglect by Bobi Wine who he in several media interviews accused with neglecting his whatsapp messages and phone calls.
Apparently he is one of the key mobilizers of the Muhoozi project and has in the recent days been spotted in several rallies entertaining supportes of the MK project.
Chairman Toyota says in case Ugandans are a no show at the Eddy Kenzo festival slated for November 12, Team MK will avail buses to ferry people to Kololo grounds. He says Kenzo is their own member and therefore they can’t leave his festival to flop.
“He is our man. Whether NUP comes or not, we are with Kenzo and we shall do everything as team MK to make the festival a success,” he said.

The Kenzo festival comes in the month within which Ugandans mourn their fallen citizens who perished in the 2016 Kasese army raid on the Obusinga palace, and relatedly the November 2020 killings. NUP is leading the commemorative events to honor the fallen Ugandans and therefore the timing of the Kenzo festival in a dark month is another debate for contention. In the same vein, the Health Ministry is contemplating whether to impose a lockdown on Kampala to contain the Ebola epidemic.
