The ministry of Ethics and Integrity, headed by Minister Simon Lokodo has cracked the whip, cancelling ”Neon at the bridge party”  over immorality, alcoholism& pornography issues.

In a statement issued today, minister Lokodo states that ”As a religious nation, we don’t like to promote alcoholism, pornography and immorality and feel this event which is purportedly an arts concert may turn immoral.”

The show was slated to take place at the new Nile Bridge this Saturday.
