Despite his recent online bickering, the Uganda National Musicians Federation president Eddy Kenzo maintains that he has no issues with events emcee and media personality Edwin Katamba a.k.a MC Kats.
For over a week, MC Kats has been ranting via his X account, expressing his frustration with Kenzo for allegedly denying financial assistance towards organizing Fille’s concert, opting instead to redirect him to his manager, Beta.
Kenzo, however, while appearing on NTV The Beat noted that MC Kats’ demands were beyond his power and he could only try to influence the people in the responsible positions to help assist him.
“MC Kats is my friend, my brother, he knows. The only problem he has with me is that I refused to attend to his issues directly and I deflected him to Beta (Martin) but what he needed was beyond my power. There was nothing I could do,” Kenzo said.
“I am not in that secretariat, am not even in the loans committee. I can solve Kats’ problem even now as long as it’s not about that. I can only influence to have him assisted and I was trying to do that until I saw him run to the media,” he added.
Kenzo re-echoed the need to be professional and how particular procedures at the federation must be adhered to regardless of someone’s position.
As the president of the music federation, I must clarify that the Sacco has financial managers and personnel dedicated to handling those matters. We are committed to professionalism and adhere to the necessary procedures for accessing funds from Sacco. – Eddy Kenzo
