 Uganda’s Minister of Youth Affairs, Florence Nakiwala has told a 7-year-old rapper  Patrick Ssenyonjo popularly known by the stage name Fresh kid, to go back to school or get arrested. 

Florence Nakiwala gave the warning after it was alleged that Fresh kid was not attending school, and could perform late at night while his age mates were studying. The Youth minister who described this as child labour, warned the Ugandan 7-year-old to go back to school or get arrested and further taken to a juvenile prison.

"The constitution clearly states that no one under the age of 18 is allowed to work therefore Fresh kid should not be working rather be in school. Anyone found aiding his music career will have to face the law as well. I take this opportunity to warn all of you who are engaging children in things like this and renting them houses, you will also be arrested according to the law" she said.

Allow the kid chase his dreams, who academics help?

Nice responsible decision... A 7 year old without education will end up being exploited... He can still do it during holidays though but he needs to be protected....

just went to youtube to watch him...………..he is indeed a talent to behold. please find a way for him to do both

Nsonaso:

Very good look at a 7 years old... Wearing necklace like bingo if he is not controlled he starts sleeping with women.

He should go back to school he can perform occasionally during holidays and he should also be controlled the type of make up and jewelry he puts on as a teenager....

degamemaster:



The minister is correct by trying to push the kid back to school but if added with his music as a part-time would be perfect.

As for your statement, school to an extent is a scam. Don't doubt me, I live in the western world by God's grace and I can tell you something, most countries encourages skill acquisitions and talents more than educational certificates.

sinaj:
Hope all the graduates in their country are employed and earning well
