Gen. Caleb Akandwanaho, popularly known as Salim Saleh, has challenged singer King Saha over his song Ekimala, in which the singer laments that coffee belonging to their people was stolen.

Speaking during the launch of the coffee industry at Kapeka Industrial Park, Gen. Saleh disputed the message in the song, assuring those in attendance that the coffee in question had returned in even larger quantities than before.

King Saha, who is Saleh’s son-in-law, sings about the alleged theft of coffee in Ekimala, but the army general insists that the situation has since changed.

When you listen to his song, he complains that there are individuals who stole their coffee. But I want to assure you that their coffee has returned in big amounts compared to before. I want to assure him today that the coffee is back.

He further encouraged those present to listen to the song, even asking the DJ to play it during the event, before calling on them to support his group.

Saleh’s remarks have now put the spotlight on King Saha’s Ekimala, with many likely to watch for the singer’s response to his father-in-law’s public comments.

It remains to be seen whether King Saha will respond to Saleh’s remarks and how fellow entertainers and opposition political figures will weigh in on the developing debate.
