A number of musicians have tried politics.
Some have succeeded and others have miserably failed.
One of the musicians that had really bad luck with politics is Ronald Mayinja.
Mayinja, who is currently in London, U.K. at one time wanted to run for Member of Parliament, but he kept crisscrossing political parties and made some decisions that sank him financially.
Reports indicate that he lost his hotel called Roma Motel, located along Entebbe Road to loan sharks.
The house he was living in has also been rented out.
Ronald Mayinja said he had gone to check on his wife, Aisha Nakyeyune, and children and he will return soon. But some people that know him have said he may not return soon.
