The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has explained why Kalondozi program on ABS TV has been suspended.
In a statement on their official Facebook page, they wrote; “This is to notify the general public that Kalondozi program on ABS TV has been suspended because it was not meeting the Minimum Broadcasting standards.”
Minimum Broadcasting standards, according to the UCC Act 2013, state that a broadcaster or video operator shall ensure that any programme which is broadcast is not contrary to public morality or does not promote the culture of violence or ethnical prejudice among the public.
Kalondozi program came under scrutiny from the regulator following numerous complaints from the public who accused it of violating people’s privacy. The rage was readily apparent after they aired nude videos of Maggie Kayima aka Nabbi Omukazi with a lot condemnation from the public and women activists.
