What inspires Uganda's singing policeman?

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Afanda OJ, also known as police Inspector Samuel Ojobira has become quite a celebrity recently after the release of several songs, and two music videos about how great Uganda's police force is. His lyrics include the lines "Uganda police today are not like the past - transformed from colonial to professional, we are not national, we are international". That is an image at odds with recent reports of police brutality against the chief of police himself and others in his force. So why the discrepancy? Picture shows Inspector Samuel Ojobira, aka Afanda OJ, in his 'Physically Fit' video. (Credit: YouTube)
