Former Eagles Production singer Catherine Kusasira was bounced at one of President Museveni’s events in Masaka.
In 2019, Catherine Kusasra was appointed a presidential advisor on Kampala Affairs and she has since had a lot of influence in the ruling party.
However, as time passed, Catherine Kusasira developed several complaints and required the president’s assistance.
However, despite her efforts to meet the president, Catherine Kusasira has been denied access to him by those close to him.
This left the singer with a sour taste in her mouth and left nothing behind while speaking to the president during one of the NRM events in Masaka.
In a video cited by Exclusive Bizz, Catherine Kusasira can be seen revealing to the president that she has employed over 30,000 youths in Uganda, but she has been barred from meeting him for some time.
In response, the President said that he will meet with Kisasira in the middle of June and then urged her to leave the podium so that the poor may voice their complaints because she is well off.
