I read a tweet from Dr Kizza Besigye legitimately complaining about media injustice to some of the presidential hopefuls contesting against the ruling NRM presidential candidate, who by a stroke of a pen, or dial by its executive director through public institutions like Uganda Communication Commission (UCC), both private and public media houses, bow in fear of losing broadcasting rights/licences, and individual editors, hosts and reporters are intimidated with arrests and job loss.
A number of examples of media clampdown by the State can be drawn from the unfashionable intimidation to media houses and journalists who covered and/or participated in non-violent demonstrations against injustices and bad laws such as Over the Top (OTT) tax.

AGAGO/ABIM- National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has if elected into power, ensure that civilians are disarmed as a way of ending the problem of cattle rustling in Karamoja Sub-region.
“The problem is Mr Museveni has been lying to you that he has removed guns from the civilians; we shall make sure that guns return where they belong. Your 2021 votes will guarantee that your young people will give you protection for your cattle,” Bobi Wine said while campaigning in Agago District yesterday.
Mr Kyagulanyi was responding to residents who said cattle rustling has become rampant in the area. Agago neighbours Karamoja Sub-region where cattle rustling has persisted.
