Fresh from a defilement case that almost ruined his life, Bukedde TV’s Katongole of the Full Doze program has been fired from the Vision Group owned TV station. Although reports indicate that some issues of conflict of interest were raised, the truth behind the matter is that Katongole was never forgiven for what he did.
News on our desks indicates that the singer who was fired under the pretext that he was serving a rival media company, was actually sacked for other underlying reasons.
Our sources at Bukedde have revealed to us that Katongole has never been forgiven by his bosses for tarnishing the name of their brand in the media and before clients, the way he did.
The TV presenter who was accused of allegedly defiling a 14-year-old girl in January this year dragged Bukedde through the mud with him as he was persecuted by the media and public for his ‘part’ in the case.
According to sources, he caused a lot of pain to the station after he was netted by Police in Bweyogerere as he tried to bribe the victim’s brother not to pursue the defilement case. Much as the case was later dropped and his job handed back to him, management thought it fit to fire him for all the damage he had done according to an insider at Bukedde.
“Most of us had anticipated this because we know that he brought shame to the Bukedde name. The top guys say that he failed to keep the company’s ethics and for sure he couldn’t survive another month here. Dragging the company into such scandals is not taken lightly here and now he has been shown the exit at the first available opportunity. When they found out that he was working for rivals, they used that. Only God knows who could be next,” the source lamented.
You can catch Katongole on Beat FM.
