After we reported last week that the Government's chief whip and Bujenje County MP Kabakumba Labwoni Matsiko was opening a radio station, Voice of Bunyoro, in Masindi, other political bigwigs are following suit.
We have leaned that Dr. Nsaba Buturo, the Ethics and Integrity Minister, who is also the MP for Bufumbira East, in Kisoro District, is opening up a station in his constituency. Sources say Butoro is already preparing to put up sign posts.
We hear he is planning to employ a female journalism graduate from Makerere who did her internship at Sanyu FM. She is currently learning more about up country programming at Voice of Kigezi. Hon. Hope Mwesigye, the local government state minister and woman representative for Kabale District, is also rumoured to be opening her own station in Kabale soon.
