Reflecting on his friend Phiona Nyamutoro’s recent appointment as a minister, Eddy Kenzo shared his genuine joy at witnessing her achievement, emphasizing the satisfaction of seeing a close friend reach such significant milestones.
Kenzo proudly accompanied Nyamutoro during her inauguration as the Minister of State for Energy and Mineral Development, specifically overseeing minerals, a momentous occasion where they shared smiles and captured memories with President Yoweri Museveni at State House Entebbe, officiated by Chief Justice Alphonse Owiny-Dollo.
Expressing his congratulations once more on social media, Kenzo highlighted the pride he felt witnessing Nyamutoro’s swearing-in ceremony, underscoring their camaraderie and support for each other’s successes.
Reports have surfaced indicating Nyamutoro’s involvement in Kenzo’s music career, particularly evident during the Eddy Kenzo music festival held at the Kololo Independence Grounds on November 12, 2022. The event, attended by a vast audience, was a testament to their collaborative efforts, with Nyamutoro reportedly playing a significant role in organizing the concert, handling logistics, and managing gate collections.
In a poignant moment, Kenzo expressed his gratitude to fans during a post-festival press conference, where his emotions overflowed, showcasing the deep connection between his artistry and Nyamutoro’s support.
Nyamutoro, known for her dedication to youth representation in parliament, has acknowledged her longstanding professional relationship with Kenzo, affirming her commitment to supporting his endeavors. Utilizing her governmental position, she has advocated for initiatives beneficial to Kenzo and the wider music community, including lobbying for copyright laws through the Uganda National Musicians Federation.
In a radio interview last year, Nyamutoro acknowledged their collaborative efforts and affirmed her commitment to furthering Kenzo’s interests, highlighting the synergy between their professional endeavors and shared aspirations for progress within the music industry.
