The people we should trust with messages from Kizza Besigye are those who continue to stand with him in PFF. Not any Lusaniya carrying pilawo or mugati gwa butter. Listen to these two short clips. Not those messages from Saleh’s emissary! 👇🏽
Something is quietly brewing in Uganda, and the nation may not realise what is at stake until it is too late.
As Mr. Kin Kariisa continues to buy off more radio/tv stations, Uganda could be heading towards a future where the battle for the airwaves is dominated by just two corporate giants: Next Media and Nation Media. Imagine a country with dozens of radio/tv frequencies, yet the real contest for independent news comes down to two major corporate interests. One is widely perceived as leaning towards the government, while the other is often viewed as more independent but has a more limited reach.
The real danger is not that Ugandans will run out of radio/TV stations. It is that they could run out of genuinely different voices. Different frequencies, different presenters, different station names, but an increasingly narrow range of perspectives. If ownership keeps concentrating, who will remain powerful enough to challenge the dominant narrative when it matters most?
This is where the future of Uganda's media independence gets frightening. Individual journalists may become the last line of defence for independent reporting, but they must navigate corporate interests, editorial pressures and a government regulator like UCC that is also watching the industry to protect interests of government in power.
The question is: will Uganda recognise the danger of concentrated media ownership before the consequences become irreversible? Because once independent voices lose their space, rebuilding it may be far harder than protecting it today.
I'm curious to know what @TonyNatif makes of this. Are we paying attention to what could become one of the most consequential battles over Uganda's information space?

🚨🎙️ Andy Cole on Bruno Fernandes’ comments after Manchester United’s defeat to Como:
🗣️ Andy Cole: “The player is telling you the coach asked them to sit back and let Como have the ball. 🤦♂️
Tell me, how does a Manchester United manager tell his players to sit back against Como? Not PSG, not Barcelona, not Arsenal… COMO! 😭💀
Anyone who watched that game knows Bruno was stating the obvious. He kept telling his teammates to close the spaces and mark their men, but they weren’t listening. How can you blame him for speaking the truth?”
🚨Adam Wharton BIG QUOTES on Bruno Fernandes:
“Bruno… you see how good he is in the PL week in week out & how important he is for Man Utd. Player of the year last year i’m sure. So many assists. The amount of chances he creates, I think people look at like sort of the chances he wastes but he doesn’t create them chances by not taking risk! He could get 100% pass rate but he won’t get that assist record last year. Players in these position have to take that risk & he does that. When it comes off he gets the praise & when he doesn’t people are going to criticise him. If i was playing with a number 10 i’d rather them miss 10 passes & get 2 right than 12 passes right but not create any chances. As a number 10 he is UNREAL!”
