Balaam Barugahara, the State Minister for Youth and Children Affairs, recently shared his thoughts in an interview with Sanyuka TV about singer Alien Skin, who is currently facing serious allegations, including causing grievous harm at Nsambya Hospital, in addition to an earlier theft case.
Balaam highlighted that as people grow, they go through various stages in life.
He pointed out that Alien Skin had reached the peak of success, basking in praise and admiration from his peers.
However, following his arrest, Alien Skin now finds himself facing these troubles alone, without his crew or peers. Balaam emphasized that this should serve as a lesson for everyone.
Expressing sympathy for Alien Skin, his family, and his friends, Balaam also acknowledged the recent loss of Joram Tumwesigye, a member of their Fangone Forest group.
Despite this, he urged Alien Skin to reflect on his behavior and work towards ending the chaos that has surrounded him.
Balaam expressed serious concern over the incident at Nsambya Hospital, describing such actions as completely unacceptable and urging that they should never happen again.
The Minister also addressed the earlier phone theft case that led to Alien Skin’s arrest, suggesting that better decision-making could have prevented the situation altogether.
As Uganda’s Minister for Youth, Balaam recognized Alien Skin’s talent, describing him as a powerful force in the country’s entertainment scene.
He even suggested that Alien Skin could one day be a presidential contender within the National Unity Platform (NUP), with the potential to win.
Balaam then expressed his commitment to working alongside Alien Skin’s elder, Bebe Cool, to ensure that he receives justice.
However, he also made it clear that justice involves accountability, and Alien Skin must take responsibility for his actions, apologize to those he has wronged, and compensate for the damages caused.
Emphasizing that no one is above the law, Balaam urged the public not to ridicule Alien Skin but to support him in becoming a better individual.
He encouraged the youth to reflect on the importance of the law and to respect it.
In closing, Balaam invited anyone who feels wronged by Alien Skin to come forward, assuring them that when the “Sitya Danger” singer is released, he will personally apologize and take full responsibility for his actions.
