With this in mind, Ugandan media has reported that the singer arrived at the decision of relocating his family from Uganda, reason being, Ugandan politics is infamous for state instigated violence.

MENTAL ANGUISH

Chameleone has seen first-hand how the families of Bobi Wine and opposition leader Kiiza Besigye have suffered mental anguish at the hands of state agencies.
