I have also interacted with members of @NABUganda at their AGM today. We talked govt-media relations & how to build a press that is driven by issued-based conversations &not political mediocrity. Thx @KKariisa and team for the invite. Lets jointly follow thru the take-aways
The Government is very concerned by the attacks on the media. Who benefits from the armed forces attack on journalists? The perpetrators of this violence, whom do they work for? @FrankTumwebazek#NABAGM18
#NABAGM18 " we have tasked the respective security agencies to identify and apprehend their officials that have been implicated in the harassment of journalists. " @FrankTumwebazek
"The only way we can get rid of masquerades in the media industry is by establishing a national database of media practitioners. This can be achieved by working with media managers and owners" UJA president Kazibwe Bashir Mbaziira during #NABAGM18@NABUganda@KKariisa
"We also want to work with @UJA in an effort to train our journalists even better so as to be able to differentiate journalism from activism~ @KKariisa
#NABAGM18 " we would like to thank @UCC_Official for organising the regional broadcasters' conferences that have enabled us to understand all broadcasters' operating environments better. "@KKariisa
