Radio and television stations that have been relaying live proceedings of Parliament debating Constitutional amendments on Wednesday halted the broadcasts following a directive by Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), the sector regulator.
The halt which stems from a September 26 directive by the UCC boss, Godfrey Mutabazi to all broadcasters to stop live feeds claimed that the live broadcasts were “inciting the public, discriminating, stirring up hatred, promoting a culture of violence amongst the viewers and are likely to create public insecurity or violence.”
