NTV’s Silence Speaks? — The Lumbuye Protest Raises Questions.

A few months ago, Nation Media Group was raided and its sister companies shut down following orders attributed to CDF Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. After more than a month, they reopened—and Ugandans were left wondering: what price had been paid for their return? Now, NTV’s coverage of the PLU protest at the Turkish Embassy has raised eyebrows. This was not just another street demonstration. It involved Muhoozi’s supporters, a demand for Lumbuye’s extradition, and a diplomatic confrontation with Turkey. Yet NTV’s report seemed remarkably restrained. Gone was the sharper political context many viewers had come to expect. Instead, viewers were largely left to connect the dots themselves. And that raises a provocative question: Did NTV come back with its voice—or with a muzzle? Watch the report and my commentary.
