In Uganda one can work and retire without an appointment letter. 90% of journalists in Uganda fall in this category. This makes it easy for people to deny you bt doesn't take away the fact that you're their employee. My brother @GabrielBuule this shouldn't move you at all.Games

@AAgather Yes you missed the context, even if you ban the recruitment like what the 9th parliament did, they will still go. Not all of them are facing hardships, so it's better to find a solution for those that are in trouble than recalling all of them.

Anti-riot policeman has assaulted Amon Kitamirike a journalist attached to BBS Terefayina. It is so unbecoming for the police to act like animals. In this video, you clearly see the police hitting journalists with their shields. He is going to be taken on as an individual.
