The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has suspended Omusunsuzi Programme on Salt TV featuring Jennifer Nakanguubi a.k.a Full Figure and Charles James Ssenkubuge for breach of broadcasting standards.
In a communication to the general public on Saturday September 13, 2025, UCC highlighted that following routine monitoring and numerous complaints received, it has determined that the program “Omusunsuzi,” aired on Salt Television, violates the Minimum Broadcasting Standards.
“The Commission found that this program, which airs on weekdays from 6:00 am to 8:00 am, contains abusive content, inappropriate language, and displays unprofessional conduct by the presenters. These broadcasts occur during morning hours when children are likely to be watching, potentially exposing them to unsuitable material,” reads part of UCC communication, adding;
“In accordance with its mandate under the Uganda Communications Act, Cap. 106, the UCC has directed Salt TV to:
- Immediately suspend the airing of the “Omusunsuzi” program.
- Provide written responses to the complaints received.
- Submit recordings of the program broadcast between August 1, 2025, and September 12, 2025.
- Submit the script of the program to the Commission.
Salt TV must confirm compliance with this directive and submit the requested materials to the UCC by Friday, September 19, 2025.”
The UCC remains committed to protecting the public from harmful or offensive content and ensuring that broadcasters operate in compliance with the law and professional standards.
