Musician and politician Bobi Wine has criticized the Ugandan army for enforcing a double standard regarding the wearing of military attire. While civilians are arrested for wearing clothes that resemble military uniforms, celebrities like Eddy Kenzo and Alien Skin have been seen wearing similar outfits without facing consequences. Wine argued that this disparity is unfair and that all individuals should be treated equally under the law.
Wine’s comments were prompted by recent incidents where civilians were detained for wearing attire with a slight resemblance to military uniforms, while musicians freely wore camouflage outfits in public. He highlighted the case of his fan, Bobi Young, who was allegedly arrested for wearing clothes that resembled military attire, contrasting this with the leniency shown to celebrities.
