PETER KIBAZO AND MORE THREE JOURNALSIT ARRESTED

I think I am the next reporter to be arrested and this should not be a surprise to East Africans and all citizens of the world. The situation has grown intense and each minute that passes by tension, fear, insecurity & intimidation continues to infringe in the hearts of journalists, reporters, presenters, moderators and in the eyes of the public. While in the conference with president Museveni yesterday alongside politicians, and religious leaders of all sects at Hotel Africana-Nile Hall discussing sustainable reconciliation, peace & justice, two more outstanding and prominent members of the media were arrested. Robert Serumaji of spectrum 7:00pm-8:00pm Radio One, Mon-Fri, was arrested though acquitted on police bound with caution of not presenting and moderating again! Just immediately when Peter Kibazo (Radio Simba-6:00pm- 8:00pm, Mon-Fri) had finished his program on WBS TV, was besieged and arrested. Till now he hasn’t been realized. At the beginning of this week a television & another radio journalist were arrest in Kayunga, Bugerere where the Kabaka –Youth function was supposed to take place but made impossible by president Museveni! Tonight I stand fearlessly and unchallenged by any one who claims journalist are inciting violence while executing there services as required; I demand for the immediate and thorough realize of Serumaji, I insist that Peter Kibazo and other programmers of ‘Binsangawano’ early morning program on radio Simba be reinstated unconditionally. We can’t stay silent when CBS, Radio Sapentia, Ssubi Fm, & Kaboozi Stations turned off by the National Broadcasting Council on orders from above; In the first case who is that above? This is the time we must show solidarity as Ugandans here and in the Diaspora, you must join me in sending a direct massage to these perpetrators on tension, affliction & intimidation. President Museveni and his counter parts in authority must abandon there despotic character that has caused anarchy and suppression for our country, and the time is now!
