By Monitor Sqoop Cricket Oval is definitely one of the biggest concert venues we have in Uganda and not many artistes will attempt to have concerts there, but not David Lutalo who has proven over and again that the oval is just an ordinary venue to showcase his fans’ love to the music world.

The MPs were in early September sent on recess by Speaker Anita Among to assess and monitor the […]
