President Museveni disclosed that musician Eddy Kenzo descends from late National Resistance Army commander Chefe Ali during Saturday's Yoweri Music Album launch at Munyonyo. The president commended the Uganda National Musicians Federation leader for transparent financial management of government funding. Museveni noted physical similarities between Kenzo and his father while addressing attendees. The revelation surprised guests who previously remained unaware of this family connection.
Chefe Ali, born Enock Mwine, served as a bush war commander alongside Museveni during the 1981-86 conflict in Luweero. His contributions included fighter mobilization and supply route security operations. Kenzo overcame childhood poverty as a street child before achieving musical success with his 2010 hit Stamina. The government pledged continued creative sector investment, with Museveni describing music as valuable national resource deserving structured financial support.
