Controversies
The Ugandan Minister of State for Youth and Children Affairs Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi warned Fresh Kid from performing during school hours since according to Ugandan Labour Law ‘’no-one under 18 should work[9]’’.
Uganda’s constitution Article 59 clause 56 line 8 restricts young children below 18 from being used for any financial benefits.[4]
Nakiwala stated that Fresh Kid would be taken to Juvenile prison if he disobeyed this law.[1]
