Without the media, your concerns whether good or bad can never be known. As a Ugandan of the media fraternity i decry your brutal acts against the media and therefore ask you to respect and stop your brutal acts against the media. Stop mistreating journalists. Your role is to protect Ugandans and keep law and order. Your acts a week ago were unprofessional and uncalled for. Open up the the media houses you closed down.
