Should any tension surface between Dr. Hilderman and his mentor, Bobi Wine, leading to potential discord, it wouldn’t be unexpected. Hilderman’s recent criticism aimed at the renowned National Unity Platform (NUP) figure may stir controversy.

There is a strong belief within the legislative circles that Bobi Wine’s remarks against Eddy Kenzo concerning the UGX 34 billion allocated for the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF) were made in ignorance. However, to tread cautiously, the musician-turned-politician accepts partial responsibility, clarifying that he failed to brief Bobi Wine about the ‘yellow’ funds distributed to musicians through investment Saccos.

The legislator asserts that he consistently advocated for government funds for the music industry, expressing joy when President Museveni eventually heeded the plea and released the funds. Hilderman, serving as the Shadow Minister of Arts, defends himself, stating that he couldn’t advise Bobi Wine adequately on the matter. He emphasizes that the allocated money is not for Eddy Kenzo or a specific group but for all artists, highlighting his ongoing efforts to encourage government investment in the industry. This statement was made during an interview with a local television station.
