Kaggwa Njala suspended from NBS over Mpuuga money posts

KAMPALA. Simon Njala Kaggwa, a senior talk show host at NBS TV, has been suspended for 14 days for hosting Mathias Mpuuga's thanksgiving event in Masaka on June 21. According to reliable sources at Naguru, Kaggwa violated the media organization's ethical guidelines by being partisan. The news manager, Dalton Kaweesa, informed the editorial staff of Kaggwa's suspension during a meeting today, following a decision made in a senior management meeting chaired by Kin Kariisa.

Bobi Wine powerless to sack me- Mpuuga

KAMPALA. The Member of Parliament for Nyendo – Mukungwe, Mathias Mpuuga has told off the National Unity (NuP) Principal Robert Kyagulanyi he is powerless to sack “me- and any pretence to be doing so is probably self- gratification". “It (suspension) was motivated by probably personal gratification and the need to show off power- which is very dangerous. It's inconsequential,” Mpuuga told Kaggwa Njala’s NBS morning breeze show on NBS TV on Thursday Morning. “If you appoint me, it's not a matter of magnanimity. It's because your power is clothed in the constitution. Where you do not have those powers to suspend, you cannot exercise them (and) suspending a deputy president, is at least not one of them,” Mpuuga said accusing Bobi Wine of acting without legal basis. He ruled out any form of reconciliation unless “individuals realise their mistake.” “It's up to them […]
