Ugandan singer and politician Robert Kyangulanyi alias Bobi Wine was released on bail by the Ugandan high court after spending almost three weeks behind bars.

Wine was released on bail coincidentally on his wedding anniversary.

His wife Barbie had taken to social media just an hour before his release to express how proud she is of him.

The letter addressed to the politician also looks back at some of their previous anniversaries and special moments together.

“Bobi my love, today is our seventh wedding anniversary. Unlike the other anniversaries in the past, this one finds us in a court room in Gulu. It finds you in clutches, unable to walk by yourself. It finds you before a judge, making an application for you to be released on bail so that you can go for medical treatment. It finds you in physical pain. On such days in the past, we would go to the beach or somewhere across the Atlantic. We would cut cake, have some wine and celebrate with our children. But today here we are. Still not sure if you’ll get your freedom or if you will be taken back to prison.” She wrote

She went on to express how proud she is of him for fighting for Ugandans.

“But let me tell you this. I have never been so proud of you. I am very proud that you are not before this judge because you did anything wrong. Not because you stole public funds or killed a person. You are before the judge because of standing for what you believe in. You have always told me that your dream is to live in a country which works for all citizens. Every day, you are working towards that. Our troubles these past days are a result of that effort. What I can do is once again promise to support you every step of the way. Not because Iam your wife but also your best friend…Happy wedding anniversary my Love; FOR BETTER,FOR WORSE. IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH,” she added

Bobi and 11 of his 32 co-accused were granted bail by the High Court in Gulu on Monday August 27th.

In a recent Interview while in South Africa the singer has revealed that doctors say his condition was caused by comsuming poison.

“Lakini wakaniuliza haujawai kunywa sumu? Nkawaambia hilo ni swali ngumu maanake ukisema nimekunywa sumu inamaana mimi ninywe sumu nataka kujiua ama vipi? Lakini wakaniambia kesi yako inadalili zote kwamba ulikula ama umekunywa kitu ambacho ni sumu,”

He added that on Sunday morning county askaris stormed the morning event and demanded to know who authorized them to close the road.

He adds that upon showing them the permit and even after calling the authorities to confirm the askaris still took down their stage and equipment.

Boniface Mwangi has fired some shots aimed at some KFCB Boss Ezekiel Mutua after he took to social media to criticize the “socks” condom advert airing on most TV stations.

According to Mutua, the advert doesn’t meet the standard requirements of the board and should be stopped from airing during watershed period.

“Following complaints and concerns raised by a cross-section of Kenyans regarding the “socks” condom advert airing in most Tv stations during prime time, the Board today launched investigations on the matter and has established that the advert was not submitted for examination and classification in line with the requirements of the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222.The airing of the advert is therefore in contravention of the law and the producers, distributors and broadcasters will be held liable for the breach. The Board has given instructions to its lawyers to proceed and prosecute the concerned institutions for the breach.” He said.

Bonface Mwangi has since taken to social media to respond to the KFCB boss saying the advert is needed for sex education.

“Finlad had 4.5 million people in 1963, Kenya had 8 million. Today Finland has 4.5 million Kenya has 50 million.A condom is a contraceptive and a disease preventer. If your dad had used a condom our youth would have been spared of your ignorant moral crusade.” Said Boniface

Ezekiel then responded to the activist saying the condoms don’t promote safe sex or protection.

“These condoms do not promote safe sex of prevention. They sensualises the product.Its more of a business than a safety campaign.” Said Mutua
