Ugandan celebrities have joined hands to help in offsetting the accumulating hospital bill of renowned artiste Moses Nakintije Ssekibogo aka Mowzey Radio.

Radio is currently receiving treatment at Case Hospital in Kampala after he was allegedly beaten into a coma during a fight at De Bar in Entebbe, some 35km from Kampala.

His hospital bill is reported to have accumulated to about 20 million Ugandan shillings (about Sh600,000).

At the same time, singer Joseph Mayanja, popularly known as Jose Chameleon, told journalists in Kampala that the Neera singer had been taken off life support and is responding well to treatment.

Meanwhile, socialite Brian Kirumira aka Bryan White has donated 25 million Ugandan shillings (about Sh800,000) in cash towards Radio’s hospital bill fund.
