Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) president Dr Col Kizza Besigye has eulogised Adam Mulwana, the man behind his 2016 campaign song Toka kwa barabara.<\/b><\/p>\n

The song, which often ushered Dr Besigye at all political rallies during his presidential campaign in 2016, was very instrumental. FDC members often sang along, word by word as they cheered their then presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

As people from different political parties, friends and relatives gathered at Dr Besigye offices on Katonga Road in Kampala to pay their last respects to Mulwana yesterday, the four-time presidential candidate described the deceased as an intelligent man who used talent to fight bad governance in the country.<\/p>\n

Dr Besigye noted that Mulwana used music as a tool to spread messages of change that touched every ordinary Ugandan.<\/p>\n

He explained that despite Mulwana\u2019s personal challenges, he dedicated his life to liberating this country, although he has died before achieving what he wished for his country.<\/p>\n

Dr Besigye said Mulwana has left a legacy and urged other Ugandans to emulate him and use their talents and whatever they have to bring change in the leadership of this country.<\/p>\n

Dr Besigye advocated for strong copyright laws in the country, saying if Mulwana\u2019s liberation songs had copyright, even his grandchildren would benefit from them.<\/p>\n

He also blamed Uganda\u2019s health system, saying Mulwana died in a country that could not offer him health services.<\/p>\n

Mr Erias Lukwago, the FDC Katonga faction interim party president, said the late Mulwana\u2019s contribution to the Opposition\u2019s cause is priceless and he will always be remembered as a hero.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are endowed differently and we use what we have to bring change in this country. Adam said what he had brought to the struggle was music,\u201d Mr Lukwago said.<\/p>\n

Mr Lukwago warned politicians who visit the sick \u201cfor showbiz or political gain and persuade them with little money to talk ill about their affiliated political parties or individuals\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ms Ingrid Turinawe, a former FDC mobilisation secretary, described Mulwana as \u201ca good person who worked hard to bring change in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been listening to the songs of late Paul Kafeero, Mozey Radio, the good songs are still playing but we should also keep playing Adam\u2019s songs without fear so that we can always remember him. That is a big gift he has left us with,\u201d Ms Turinawe said.<\/p>\n

Former Kawempe North MP Latif Ssebagala described Mulwana as a great pillar in Opposition politics and a nationalist who brought \u201cvibe\u201d in the Ugandan political landscape.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed in all his songs, he has tried his best to ensure they are geared towards Ugandans getting freedom,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also echoed the need to improve Uganda\u2019s health sector, saying Uganda\u2019s health facilities \u201care also sick\u201d and many Ugandans are dying because they can\u2019t afford treatment abroad.<\/p>\n

Mulwana died on Tuesday after a long illness and was laid to rest yesterday in Buziranduulu Village in Luweero District.<\/p>\n
