Pastor Patience Museveni Rwabwogo of the Covenant Nations Church, who happens to be the daughter of Gen. @KagutaMuseveni the President of Uganda for the last four decades, preaches about the dynamics of a transition.

The Uganda Communications Commission has noted the circumstances that have led to the Nation Media Group's outlets, including NTV Uganda, Spark TV, Dembe FM, and KFM, going off air. Consultations have begun with the relevant government stakeholders to obtain verified information. The Commission urges the public to remain calm and allow these consultations to proceed. We will provide further updates as appropriate once the consultations conclude. @MoICT_Ug @UCC_Official @UgandaMediaCent

28th June 2026 | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STATEMENT ON THE CLOSURE AND MILITARY SIEGE OF UGANDAN MEDIA HOUSES AFFILIATED TO THE NATION MEDIA GROUP The National Unity Platform strongly condemns the military’s arbitrary closure and continuing siege of @ntvuganda, The @DailyMonitor, @sparktvuganda, @DembeFm, and other media houses under the @NationMediaGrp that started at dawn today Sunday, 28th June 2026. The closure, enforced outside any known legal framework, is a primitive attack on press freedom and the citizens’ right to access information -- moreover by a regime now committing even worse tyranny than what it supposedly sought to end when it waged the 1980s war. We stand in solidarity with the journalists, editors, staff, leadership and audience of the affected media houses, and empathize with all who are going to bear the related economic losses. We urge all citizens and institutions, particularly political actors and members of the civil society, to prepare for increased repression in the coming days owing to the deepening constitutional crisis in the country. Historically, the determination of Ugandans to be free has outlasted every regime that thought it was powerful enough to stay forever or clever enough to mutate into another. We remain confident that this time, too, the people’s aspirations for a free and democratic country shall prevail. END
