ENTEBBE: Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, met shareholders and senior executives of Nation Media Group (NMG) on Wednesday as discussions continued over the closure of the company’s media outlets, including NTV Uganda and the Daily Monitor.

The meeting at the Special Forces Command headquarters in Entebbe was attended by Tanzanian businessman Rostam Aziz, who became the largest shareholder in Kenya-based Nation Media Group earlier this year, his son Saam Aziz, and Georgia Mutagaywa, chief of staff at Taarifa Limited, which oversees the group’s operations in Uganda.

During the deliberations, specific instances of what the government deems biased and malicious reporting were reviewed, with the NMG ownership committing to adopting a more patriotic, balanced, and objective approach to their journalism moving forward, according to a brief from the CDF’s office.

Veteran journalist Andrew Mwenda and Acting Defence Public Information Director Col. Chris Magezi also attended the talks.

The meeting comes days after security personnel shut down NMG’s operations in Kampala, disrupting newspaper printing and taking several television and radio stations off air.

The government on Tuesday said the disruption stemmed from a “security-led inquiry” instituted by President Museveni and involving the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), the Criminal Investigations Directorate and other security agencies.

Muhoozi had earlier said he ordered the closure over what he described as a sustained campaign of blackmail against the government and its leadership.

According to participants, Tuesday’s discussions reviewed concerns raised by the government regarding the group’s coverage and explored ways of resolving the standoff.

Following the meeting, Muhoozi said he would “submit a report on the discussions to President Museveni before a final decision is taken on the reopening of the affected outlets.”

Nation Media Group-Uganda owns NTV Uganda, the Daily Monitor, Spark TV, KFM, Dembe FM, The East African, Ennyanda newspaper and Nation Courier.

Despite the shutdown of its broadcasting and printing operations, the media group has continued to publish through its digital platforms.

“Nothing much has changed. Our websites are active, our social media handles are active … so we’re just digital now,” Managing Director Susan Nsibirwa said earlier this week.

No timeline has been given for when the outlets could resume normal operations.

Government Defends Military Blockade of Nation Media Group as ‘Security-Led Inquiry’​

June 30, 2026

The ongoing military blockade of Nation Media Group Uganda (NMGU) is part of a “security-led inquiry” instituted by President Yoweri Museveni, Minister for ICT and National Guidance Justine Lumumba Kasule revealed on Tuesday.

According to a statement released by Minister Lumumba on 30th June, the multi-agency probe involves the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF), the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), and other security experts.

“The events of 28th June 2026 that led to the disruption of operations at Nation Media Group were occasioned by a Security-Led Inquiry… Government will inform the public once the inquiry has been concluded,” Lumumba stated.

The government’s justification comes as armed, masked military personnel maintain a strict physical blockade on NMGU premises for a third consecutive day, crippling the country’s largest independent media house.


The siege began at 1:00 AM on Sunday, 28th June, when security forces raided and barricaded NMGU’s main headquarters in Namuwongo and its broadcasting centres at the Kampala Serena Hotel. The ongoing operation has forced major national outlets including the Daily Monitor newspaper, NTV Uganda, Spark TV, KFM, and Dembe FM completely out of print circulation and off the air.

Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba confirmed the shutdown was executed with President Museveni’s approval. Gen. Muhoozi noted he is currently locked in talks with veteran journalist Andrew Mwenda, leader of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), to negotiate a potential reopening.

Despite the physical infrastructure being under military occupation and staff being denied access, NMGU management stated that the company is adapting. To circumvent the broadcast and print blackout, the media house is actively distributing breaking news, updates, and digital broadcasts through its various online channels.

The move to digital platforms allows NMGU to continue reaching its audience, though the shutdown of its traditional outlets represents a significant blow to independent journalism in Uganda.

The latest blockade is not the first time NMG Uganda operations have been targeted by state agents. In May 2013, police raided the Daily Monitor and Dembe FM over the publication of a letter allegedly linking senior government officials to a succession plan dubbed the “Muhoozi Project.” In February 2007, barely two months after NTV Uganda launched, the broadcaster was forced off air by the government.

Over the years, President Museveni has repeatedly criticised the Daily Monitor, at one point referring to it as an “enemy and evil newspaper” over its critical journalism.

The government has not provided a timeline for the inquiry or indicated when the blockade might be lifted. Gen. Muhoozi’s negotiations with Andrew Mwenda suggest a possible path to resolution, but no agreement has been announced.

For the hundreds of NMG employees affected, the shutdown represents an immediate threat to their livelihoods. For the public, it represents a significant reduction in access to independent news and information

Serikali Yatetea Kifungo cha Kijeshi kwa Nation Media Group kwa kuwa 'Uchunguzi Unaoongozwa na vyombo vya Usalama'​

Juni 30, 2026

Waziri wa TEHAMA na Mwongozo wa Kitaifa Justine Lumumba Kasule alifichua Jumanne kwamba kizuizi cha kijeshi kinachoendelea dhidi ya Nation Media Group Uganda (NMGU) ni sehemu ya "uchunguzi unaoongozwa na usalama" ulioanzishwa na Rais Yoweri Museveni.

Kulingana na taarifa iliyotolewa na Waziri Lumumba mnamo tarehe 30 Juni, uchunguzi huo wa mashirika mengi unahusisha Jeshi la Ulinzi la Wananchi wa Uganda (UPDF), Kurugenzi ya Upelelezi wa Jinai (CID), na wataalamu wengine wa usalama.

"Matukio ya tarehe 28 Juni 2026 yaliyosababisha kuvurugika kwa shughuli katika Nation Media Group yalisababishwa na Uchunguzi Unaoongozwa na Usalama... Serikali itaufahamisha umma mara tu uchunguzi utakapokamilika," Lumumba alisema.

Utetezi wa serikali unakuja huku wanajeshi waliovaa barakoa wakiwa na silaha wakiendelea na vizuizi vikali vya kimwili kwenye majengo ya NMGU kwa siku ya tatu mfululizo, na kuiponda nyumba kubwa zaidi ya habari huru nchini.


Utekaji wa majengo ulianza saa saba usiku (1:00 AM) siku ya Jumapili, tarehe 28 Juni 2026, wakati vikosi vya usalama vilipovamia na kuweka vizuizi katika makao makuu ya NMGU huko Namuwongo na vituo vyake vya utangazaji katika Hoteli ya Kampala Serena. Operesheni inayoendelea imelazimisha utitiri wa vyombo vikuu vya habari vya kitaifa vya NMG vikiwemo gazeti la Daily Monitor, NTV Uganda, Spark TV, KFM, na Dembe FM kutosambazwa kabisa na kutopatikana matangazo hewani.

Mkuu wa Majeshi ya Ulinzi (CDF) Jenerali Muhoozi Kainerugaba alithibitisha kufungwa kwa shughuli hiyo kulifanyika kwa idhini ya Rais Museveni.

Jenerali Muhoozi alibainisha kuwa kwa sasa yuko katika mazungumzo na mwandishi wa habari mkongwe Andrew Mwenda, kiongozi wa Chama cha Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), ili kujadili uwezekano wa kufunguliwa tena kwa shughuli hiyo.

Licha ya miundombinu ya majengo ya NMG kuwa chini ya uvamizi wa kijeshi na wafanyakazi kunyimwa ruhusa ya kuingia katika majengo, uongozi wa NMGU ulisema kwamba kampuni hiyo inabadilika kimnyumuliko wa kidigitali.

Ili kuepuka vikwazo vya utangazaji na uchapishaji kukatika, media za habari za NMG zinaendelea kusambaza kikamilifu habari mpya, masasisho (updates), na matangazo ya kidijitali kupitia njia zake mbalimbali za mtandaoni.

Kuhamia kwenye majukwaa ya kidijitali kunaruhusu NMGU kuendelea kuwafikia hadhira yake, ingawa kufungwa kwa vituo vyake vya kawaida kunawakilisha pigo kubwa kwa uandishi huru wa habari nchini Uganda.

Kizuizi cha hivi karibuni si mara ya kwanza kwa shughuli za NMG Uganda kulengwa na maafisa wa serikali. Mnamo Mei 2013, polisi walivamia Daily Monitor na Dembe FM kuhusu kuchapishwa kwa barua inayodaiwa kuwaunganisha maafisa wakuu wa serikali na mpango wa urithi uliopewa jina la "Mradi wa Muhoozi." Mnamo Februari 2007, miezi miwili tu baada ya NTV Uganda kuzinduliwa, urushaji wa vipindi hewani vililazimishwa kuondolewa hewani na serikali.

Kwa miaka mingi, Rais Museveni amekuwa akiikosoa gazeti la Daily Monitor mara kwa mara, wakati mmoja akiliita "gazeti la adui na baya" kutokana na uandishi wake wa habari muhimu.

Serikali haijatoa ratiba ya uchunguzi au kuashiria ni lini kizuizi hicho kinaweza kuondolewa. Mazungumzo ya Jenerali Muhoozi na mpatanishi Andrew Mwenda yanaonyesha njia inayowezekana ya kupata suluhisho, lakini hakuna makubaliano yaliyotangazwa.

Kwa mamia ya wafanyakazi wa NMG walioathiriwa, kufungwa kwa huduma hiyo kunawakilisha tishio la moja kwa moja kwa maisha yao. Kwa umma, kunawakilisha kupungua kwa kiasi kikubwa kwa upatikanaji wa habari na taarifa huru.
 
Atakuwa na matatizo kwenye ubongo, au kazidiwa na bangi.

Amewahi kuandika kuwa anataka kumnyang'anya mke Jay-Z. Siku nyingine kaandika anataka kutoa mahari ng'ombe wa kinyankole amuoe Meloni.

Jinga sana.
