If you have been watching Baba Tv for the last 6 months, you might have watched some unprofessional conduct of a presenter named Jane Namukasa early this year when she hosted events promoter Bajjo Events in an entertainment show dubbed Ebitaala.

In that particular show and others that she has done, she openly showed a biased attitude against National Unity Platform and Bobi Wine as a person as she could always throw jibes at him severally to the extent that it had become a norm to atleast talk about the Ghetto gladiator on a daily basis in her show.

Well in a rather a dramatic turn of events, Janie Namukasa has come out with guns brazing claiming Baba Tv fired her for refusing to abuse Bobi Wine. This now leaves out questions on how media houses have taken political sides in the quest to serve Ugandans from all walks of political spheres even those who are not into politics.TrendingWinnie Nwagi Blasts Fan as She Leaves Tongues Waging In Seductive Video
According to Janie Namukasa who was speaking to an online Channel, she says abusing Bobi Wine during her show was among the tasks she was given at Baba Tv and being the headline presenter of the show, she couldn’t do anything apart from following the script she had been given by her seniors.
“The station was making me to abuse Bobi Wine every day, they would bring fake stories and say take on this, take on that. As you know the presenter has little input in the show, i reached a level where i felt it was too much. There’s a story they brought about Homosexuality and i refused to spin it and i was suspended for a week, i served my suspension for two days and i was called back to work, then they brought another story about Bobi Wine and we were supposed to go to Jinja, that’s when i threw in the towel avoiding to continue fighting Bobi Wine because all were lies, scripted to discredit Bobi Wine”- reveals Janie Namukasa.
Namukasa further says Baba Tv used to tell her abuse Bobi Wine but they couldn’t even pay her salary when the month ends.

This now shades a cloud of unprofessionalism in many Ugandan Media houses ahead of tomorrow World Press Freedom where journalists revisit the challenges in the media space. This year’s theme is A Press for the Planet: Journalism in the Face of the Environmental Crisis

Ugandan Citizen Abducted, Held in Secret Detention for Three Months, Sparks Outrage and Calls for Justice

Published

on

A disturbing new case of unlawful detention has surfaced, highlighting the ongoing human rights crisis in Uganda. A Ugandan citizen was reportedly abducted and held in a secret facility, known as a “safe house,” for three months, only to be released without charge or explanation. This incident, reported by NTV Uganda, has sparked widespread condemnation and renewed calls for accountability regarding human rights abuses in the country.
While the details surrounding the abduction remain unclear, reports indicate that the individual was taken without due process and held incommunicado—an action that has long been condemned by human rights organizations. The victim’s release, with no charges filed and no clear justification, has angered activists and citizens, who view this as yet another case of egregious abuse of power by the state.
“This is a recurring pattern,” said one human rights activist. “Abductions, secret detentions, and unexplained releases have become all too common in Uganda. These acts violate fundamental human rights and erode public trust in the justice system.”
The use of “safe houses,” unregistered detention facilities reportedly operated by security forces, has been a focal point in numerous allegations of torture and illegal imprisonment. Despite repeated calls from both local and international organizations for their closure and accountability for those involved, little action has been taken to address these violations.
This case underscores the urgent need for reform within Uganda’s security apparatus and greater accountability for human rights abuses. Observers hope that drawing attention to these injustices will spur concrete action to bring those responsible to justice and ensure the protection of basic human rights.
As frustration mounts, calls for both domestic and international pressure to hold the government accountable for such crimes grow louder. “One day, there must be accountability for all these crimes against our people,” stated one social media user, reflecting the sentiments of many Ugandans.

NUP Gathering Disrupted: Kyagulanyi Alleges Security Force Harassment and Arrests

Published

National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi has accused Ugandan security forces of using excessive force to disrupt a planned NUP gathering. The allegations were detailed in a statement shared on Twitter, following an event held to honor children of NUP supporters who were killed, disappeared, or detained for their political beliefs.
According to Kyagulanyi, security personnel, under the command of an officer identified as Asiimwe, carried out a preemptive operation early in the morning upon learning of the NUP’s plans. The forces allegedly stormed the premises, arrested workers, and deployed tear gas to disperse those present.
“The criminals under the command of one Asiimwe deployed early morning, arrested our workers, and threw tear gas into our premises. They’ve cordoned off the premises and blocked all people from accessing the place,” Kyagulanyi wrote.
Among those reportedly arrested were Saava Peter, Mudenya Samson, and Turyasingura Samson. Kyagulanyi claimed the detained workers were subjected to beatings and interrogated about their political affiliations, with security operatives labeling them as terrorists.
“These JATT operatives asked the workers who they support politically, branding them terrorists and criminals—their only crime being that they work with us. You can imagine the indignity!” Kyagulanyi lamented.
This incident adds to the growing tension in Uganda’s political climate, where opposition parties frequently accuse the government of stifling dissent. Despite the challenges, Kyagulanyi ended his statement with a message of defiance and optimism, proclaiming, “UGANDA WILL BE FREE.”
