Ugandan comedians Marcelo Mbabaali, Peter Sssaabakaaki (Omuzinyuuzi), Gold Ki Matono, aka Opeto, and Julius Sserwanja, aka Kidomoole of the Bizonto group were detained on July 24, 2020 for a skit that was critical of the appointment of public officials solely based on their ethnic identity.
In the skit, they argued that President Yoweri Museveni and several government officials in leading institutions of managing detentions, elections, law enforcement and finance all came from the same region in western Uganda.
