The singer, born Mansour Ssemanda revealed yesterday, Friday that while many people have concluded that he is using drugs, his eyes are actually affected by dust on the road to his residence.
“Because of that road, people see me and think I am high on substances,” Saha told reporters.
“But I can tell you; by the time you move from Nakawuka to Munyonyo everyone will think you are on drugs.”
“UNRA should come out and help us on that road because even if I take off my glasses right now, you will join me to call for repairs on that road.”
Apart from the potholes, the singer says the road is filled with massive potholes which tend to cause him a headache.
Saha was responding to queries on why he rarely takes off his sunglasses, during a media interview.
The Kisubi- Nakawuka, Nateete, Kasanje, Mpigi road has long been among the worst roads in Kampala, often sparking riots among residents, especially during the dry season.
But last year, the government through the Uganda National Roads Authority finally put it on the list of those set to be tarmacked.
UNRA executive director Allen Kagina said late last year that they were negotiating with funders to ensure that construction works kick off this financial year.
