Ugandan military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba on Sunday said that he had ordered the closure of two of Uganda's major media outlets.
He justified the move by saying that he did not believe in "free press."
Kainerugaba is the son of President Yoweri Museveni, who has led the country since 1986.
What did Kainerugaba say about his order against 'free press'?
In a series of posts on the platform X, Kainerugaba announced the closure of the Daily Monitor daily and the NTV broadcaster, insisting it was within the purview of powers delegated to him by the presidency."In Uganda, I do not believe in a free press! The press should be guided by cadres of the revolution," Kainerugaba said.
