Moroto Promoter identified as Ashraf Kirya of Mulla Entertainment has dragged singer Jose Chameleone for Snubbing the show he was booked to perform on, and requests a ban on Chameleone’s ‘ Gwanga Mujje ‘ concert.
A show themed Wale Wale Festival organized by Mula Entertainment was widely advertised on the local radio stations since December, attracting hundreds of people across Karamoja but to their disappointment, the singer never showed up at his own show and instead made an appearance at the Spice Diana show in Lugogo which left Mulla frustrated.
While addressing the media yesterday Promoter Ashraf Kirya that he decided to go to court because Chameleone and his team made him suffer losses on January 13, 2023, when the show named Wale Wale Festival Live in Moroto flopped because of Chameleone’s failure to turn up.
He said Chameleone’s statement of missing his flight from the US to Uganda is wrong because he was in Kampala on that date when the show was supposed to take place. “On January 13, 2023, we called Chameleone’s manager and he told us that the artiste was at his home sleeping. Therefore, it’s not true that he wasn’t yet in Uganda,” Kirya said.
In the letter dated February 14, Kirya said he now wants the court to compel Chameleone to compensate him with sh150m, which he hoped to make on that show as he was expecting 13,000 people to attend it.
“We had paid Chameleone a deposit of sh5m and we had spent $3,000 (sh11m) on hiring an aeroplane to fly him from Kajjansi to Moroto district.
“We were expecting a lot of people to attend that event. Some came from Sudan, Kenya and others came from the neighboring districts, but they never got a chance to see Chameleone perform for them.”
According to the letter, that Kirya served Chameleone, Mula Entertainment wants Chameleone to pay the money in four days or else he takes the matters to the commercial court of Uganda.
