In a recent development, Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine expressed frustration over the cancellation of a scheduled radio program in Dokolo. Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, cited government intimidation as the reason behind the abrupt halt to the broadcast.
According to Wine, the management of the radio station informed him that they feared being shut down by the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) if they allowed discussions on issues related to the struggle against President Museveni’s government. This decision was met with disappointment from Wine and his team, who accused the station of cowardice for succumbing to intimidation tactics.
Moreover, Wine revealed that the Public Address Systems, essential for reaching the people of Lango, were confiscated at the last minute, further hindering their efforts to communicate with the public.
Despite these obstacles, Wine remains resolute in his commitment to spreading the message of change. He emphasized that regardless of the challenges faced, the advocacy against the current government would persist.
The incident highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding freedom of expression in Uganda, with critics accusing the government of suppressing dissenting voices. Wine’s statement underscores the determination of opposition figures and activists to continue their struggle for social and political change despite facing obstacles and intimidation tactics.
