Swangz Avenue singer Priscilla Zawedde aka Azawi has left people wondering if she’s eying a political career as she’s unhappy with the state affairs. The Masavu hitmaker took it to her X/Twitter page and commented about her recent performance in Zombo district in Northern Uganda.
According to Azawi, she saw stinking poverty there. This was so heartbreaking as people’s way of living is so bad and in a dire situation. The singer went ahead to say that it’s so disappointing how Ugandans pay crazy and hefty taxes.
However, these do not help the ordinary person at all but simply those at the top who behave like parasites. Additionally, the singer said that she doesn’t see the need to pay taxes at all if they can’t benefit the masses.
“Not so long ago I went to perform in Zombo district and what I saw there was heartbreaking, mwana nga embeera ya bantu mbi nyo. We pay crazy taxes but it hurts that it can’t even benefit our most vulnerable people okujjako abakamuzi!! So why pay taxes?? I mean why?” distressed Azawi chirped.
Of recent, musicians have come to the forefront of Ugandan politics. There has been a heavy influx of entertainers into leadership roles especially after Bobi Wine aka Kyagulanyi Ssentamu joined active politics. Besides, the situation amongst Ugandans across the different regions is bad.

Service delivery has been below par and corruption has been the biggest obstacle. Many funds meant for the common people have gone ahead to get swindled and embezzled by a small group of people. These even escapes punishment which makes the vice go further.
We are yet to know whether Azawi is in for politics or she was juts commenting as a regular Ugandan.
