”press freedom”

WEEKLY OBSERVER, KAMPALA, UGANDA
A Cabinet committee tasked to advise the government on taming critical media is considering a constitutional amendment that deletes the provision on freedom of the press.
The sub-committee headed by Public Service Minister, Henry Muganwa Kajura, was formed after three separate Cabinet papers on the management of the media failed to find consensus in Cabinet.
The majority of ministers want tough restrictions against the media.
The third and latest paper titled, ‘Cabinet Retreat on Media Management’, was presented to Cabinet on May 21 during a retreat at Statistics House in Kampala.
