Two Ugandan musicians were released on bail on Wednesday after being charged with disturbing the peace of veteran President Yoweri Museveni for a song suggesting he should retire, their lawyer said.
Singer David Mugema and music producer John Muwanguzi were accused of having composed and disseminated via the internet a tune titled "Wumula", meaning "retire", their lawyer Abdallah Kiwanuka told AFP.
