Today is World Press Freedom Day and we're using this Media Football Gala to reinforce the press freedom that the journalists may be empowered to fearlessly exercise their noble watchdog role. Through this we engage with all the stakeholders while reminding them that without free press they can hardly enjoy their freedom. It is happening now at Kittante Primary School in Kampala. Powered by UNOC and Corporate Sports Network.

The Uganda Journalists Association (UJA) is disturbed by the continued detention of journalist Frank Bwekumbule with Impact FM, allegedly on Ms. Justine Nameere's orders!

Bwekumbule has been held at Masaka CPS since Tuesday when he was arrested and detained.

He is accused of having taken a video recording of one Cissy Nanyange, a coffee seedlings supplier in Masaka, who claim that Nameere had defaulted,paying her for the seedlings supplied to her during campaigns.

Bwekumbule's detention is viewed as an attempt to shield some leaders from public accountability, which is unacceptable.

UJA therefore, demands that he un conditionally be released or produced before Court if is suspected to have committed any crime.

UJA stands in solidarity with Bwekumbule and will keep the fight on in ensuring that he regains his freedom.

is not a Crime
