Journalists in Busoga have threatened to stop
covering police activity in the region. This follows
an incident in which a journalist was shot during
the foiled Besigye rally in Jinja.
The coordinator of Busoga Media Link, Meddy
Mbentyo says they will not cover any police
functions, unless the force allows journalists to
do their work freely. Mbentyo says the actions of
police are aimed at blocking journalists from
informing the public, a move they want to resist.
Earlier this week, police boss, Gen. Kale Kayihura
warned media house against covering opposition
activities calling them partisan.
