Serikali ya Uganda imetetea kufungwa kwa baadhi ya vyombo vikuu vya habari nchini humo vikiwemo Daily Monitor, NTV Uganda, na taasisi nyingine zinazomilikiwa na Nation Media Group Uganda.
Katika taarifa rasmi iliyotolewa leo, msemaji wa serikali na Waziri wa Habari, Kasule Lumumba, amesema kufungwa kwa vyombo hivyo ni sehemu ya “uchunguzi unaoongozwa na vyombo vya usalama” ulioagizwa na Rais Yoweri Museveni.
“Matukio ya tarehe 28 Juni 2026 yaliyosababisha kusitishwa kwa shughuli za Nation Media Group yalisababishwa na uchunguzi unaoongozwa na vyombo vya usalama. Serikali itatoa taarifa kwa umma mara uchunguzi huo utakapokamilika,” amesema Lumumba.
Kauli hiyo ya serikali imekuja siku mbili baada ya maafisa wenye silaha wa vyombo vya usalama kufunga ofisi za Nation Media Group mjini Kampala na kuamuru vituo vyake vya televisheni na redio kusitisha matangazo.
Mkuu wa Majeshi ya Uganda, Jenerali Muhoozi Kainerugaba, ambaye pia ni mtoto wa Rais Yoweri Museveni, alithibitisha kupitia mtandao wa X kwamba aliamuru jeshi kufunga taasisi hiyo ya habari baada ya kupata idhini kutoka kwa baba yake.
Aidha, Muhoozi alisema kuwa haamini kuwepo kwa uhuru wa vyombo vya habari.
Wakati huo huo, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Nation Media Group Uganda, Susan Nsibirwa, amesema mazungumzo yanaendelea katika ngazi mbalimbali na jeshi kwa lengo la kuhakikisha vyombo hivyo vya habari vinafunguliwa tena na kurejea hewani.
Hatua hiyo ya kufungwa kwa vyombo vya habari imekuja wakati ambapo serikali inaendelea kuongeza ukandamizaji dhidi ya wakosoaji wake.
