    The Opposition in Parliament is mooting for an amendment of the Uganda Communications Commission Act and other media laws in the country in order to safeguard the freedom of the fourth estate.

    The Uganda Communications Commission Act regulates the Communications Sector which includes Telecommunications, Broadcasting, radio communication, postal communications, data communication and infrastructure.

    According to the Leader of the Opposition of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Mathias Mpuuga, the Shadow Cabinet has kick-started a process of developing amendments to the Act and other media laws, which he says are draconian.

    He said that UCC is given a lot of powers that are in most cases misused against the media and therefore a need to unpack laws strangling media freedom. Rt. Hon. Mpuga speaking1……

    Mr. Mpuuga also representing Nyendo-Mukungwe Constituency says that the Opposition is going to make consultations with media practitioners as part of their approach and that the amendments they intend to table on the floor of parliament are going to be under a Private Member’s Bill. Rt. Hon. Mpuga speaking2……

    While responding to President Yoweri Museveni’s State of the Nation Address, Mpuuga last week notified parliament about the Opposition Legislative Agenda and under the Information, Communication and Technology Sector, the Leader of Opposition said that they would initiate amendments to the Uganda Communications Act, amendments to the Data Protection and Privacy Act, review of the Minimum Broadcasting Standards, and reconsideration of the National Biotechnology and Biosafety Bill.
