After a tough meeting with Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), Tumbiza Sound hit singer Eric Opoka aaka EeZzy has been asked to make a Remix / remake of the song to follow Covid-19 SOP's.

According to reliable info, Tumbiza Sound hitmaker has today reached a leveled ground with officials from the UCC Officials and both parties agreed the singer will produce a Remix of the song, this time with a lyrical content that is aligned to COVID 19 guidelines by the Ministry of Health.

According to a statement from Irene Ssewankambo, the Executive Director of UCC, the commission officials discussed the song with Opoka in light of the complaint.

“The complainant stated that the Tumbiza Sound song contains messages contradicting the Ministry of Health Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) on Covid-19 prevention,” a statement from UCC reads in part.

Last week, the Ministry of Health asked the Uganda Communications Commission to ban Opoka’s song. The song Tumbiza Sound, among other things, states that COVID-19 should not be the end of life.

The singer says that Covid-19 should not stop people from enjoying life, including an outing in bars, and night clubs.
