Well, so much for press freedom. Prominent
television station NTV Uganda with
subsidiaries in many other African countries
has been banned from covering the
presidency apparently for showing images of a
sleeping President Yoweri Museveni.
The pictures were suspected to have been
captured recently when the President
presented his State of the Nation address in
Parliament. In a statement to announce the
punishment for showing the dozing President,
government media centre manager Dennis
Katungi said,
“The President has habits, he meditates
and they know it, and still they go out
and say he was sleeping.”
Essentially Mr Katungi wants the world to believe that
the President was meditating in
Parliament in the full glare of the public
eye and not sleeping as the TV station
sought to portray.
“We have suspended their coverage of
the President as we reconsider our
relationship with them.”
LOL, does it look like he is sleeping or
meditating ?
