Ugandan artistes Ykee Benda and Cindy Sanyu have officially been inaugurated to the Ugandan Musicians Association as President and Vice President respectively.

The duo were sworn in Earlier this week at Nsambya based Mestil hotel.

Speaking during their inauguration, the duo promised to serve wholesomely by executing their duties, and to uphold the standards of the association.

"We would like to also thank our outgoing president Sophie Gombya for everything she put in during her leadership and wish her the best in her new journey," they said.

Ykee Benda took over the UMA presidency on an acting capacity over a month ago after former president Sophie Gombya resigned.

Ever since his appointment, the Mpaka Records Boss faced a lot of criticism from fellow artistes who did not think that he deserved the post, considering that he has only been in the industry for a short while.

He did not lose his focus and challenged everyone that thought otherwise about his leadership to step up and contest against him.

Cindy Sanyu was voted as the new vice president and Ykee Benda revealed that she was the right person for the job because she has been vocal when it came to matters concerning Ugandan music.
