We have noted with great concern the disturbing news that journalists from the @DailyMonitor, @ntvuganda, and other media platforms under the Nation Media Group have been unilaterally blocked from accessing and covering Parliament, in addition to their earlier ban from covering any activities involving dictator Museveni. We strongly condemn this unconstitutional action, and urge the leadership of Parliament to immediately reverse it.
While no formal justification has been given for the ban, we have reason to believe that it is a retaliatory measure against the Nation Media Group for news stories that it has published recently exposing the blatant abuse of power and corruption of ongoing electoral processes by the disgraceful Annet Anita Among and other 'leaders' at Parliament.
The ban is not just a cowardly attack on the Ugandan people’s right to know how they are governed, but also an unjustified assault on Article 29 of our Constitution which guarantees the twin freedoms of speech and the press. It represents yet another desperate attempt by the regime, acting through Anita Among, to silence the truth and shield itself from public scrutiny.
The clampdown on independent media has gone beyond bans: journalists have also been repeatedly beaten (as was the case during the Kawempe by-election) and threatened just for doing their jobs. Clearly, these attacks are not isolated incidents but part of a systematic effort by the regime to instill fear and force self-censorship in the media. Targeting journalists in this violent and brazen manner is intended to send a clear message to them to "back off!".
Having spent years abusing state power to muzzle dissenting voices of opposition leaders, members of the civil society, artistes, religious leaders, and now journalists, the regime is now treating journalists as enemies of the state just for doing their constitutional duty. By banning independent media from covering public activities funded by taxpayers and beating those who dare to report the truth, the regime is openly admitting that it has something to hide. In so doing, it forgets that no regime, however powerful it imagines itself to be, can win a war against the truth forever.
We stand in full solidarity with the brave journalists of Nation Media Group, and all other media practitioners in Uganda who continue to report the truth despite the serious risk of personal and professional harm they face for doing so.
In the @NUP_Ug, we reaffirm our commitment to defending media freedom and protecting all journalists.
🚨 OMG...the President of the United States just posted himself piloting a fighter jet with "KING TRUMP" on the side and dumping mud all over Harry Sisson and No Kings protestors
To the song "Danger Zone"
He is one of a kind😭
I requested Hon. Walukagga to paint a picture of #ANewUganda in song. He did the job in just two days. Oh what a talent! Listen in and spread the message.

NUP presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi expresses frustration as police continue to block and divert him while en route to his campaign grounds. He is still on his way to Katwe Grounds in Mayuge for his first rally of the day. #NTVNews
And this is a senior police officer, Annabella Nyiramahoro, the Deputy RPC of Masaka, openly campaigning for an NRM parliamentary candidate at his function! We have also seen, in recent days, trucks bearing UPDF number plates transporting NRM supporters to events - without consequences - despite the law explicitly forbidding them to engage in partisan politics. Meanwhile, many officers have been tortured and jailed on mere suspicion that they support the oppositon. The only one way we can stop this impunity and unfairness is by resetting our country and building a #ANewUgandaNow! #ProtestVote2026
THANK YOU, KALIRO!
THANK YOU, LUUKA!
The message of freedom continues to be preached and received everywhere across the country.

PM NETANYAHU: "I'm sure there are people in New York or London or in Melbourne and elsewhere who are probably thinking, 'What does all this have to do with me?'"
"And the answer is, everything — because our enemies are your enemies."
Netanyahu then gives the UN a pop quiz, stressing that "our enemies hate all of us."
It’s sad how we got to the point where if you support the system you can even get away with murder. The Alien Skin criminal gang has taken yet another life! @PoliceUg !!
UPDATE: As predicted, they have cancelled our rally at Katwe and only cleared Nateete! That's why they had to push our nomination to 2:00pm so that we do only one event. REGARDLESS, WE SHALL MEET AND SPEAK TO OUR PEOPLE. LET'S ALL MEET AT KAALA PLAYGROUND, NATEETE ON WEDNESDAY!
#FreeUganda
Hon Otafire akoze atya?
No citizen should be incarcerated without his or her day in court…. Nothing lost, nothing gained - bye bye #BakozeBatya?
