Uganda Communication Commission has ruled that TV owners shall be expected to pay a fine if someone is defamed on their television station.
These new guidelines come shortly after NBS presenter Kayz was charged for having defamed OS Suna. Claiming that the house Suna had show cased was not his. That actually his girlfriend financed the entire building process.
After his arrest, the presenter was remanded to Kitalya prison. He was companied by other persons that were part of the show including Brian Wako and Marko. The group later appeared before the Chief magistrate at Buganda Road.

A TV owner is to pay hefty fines in dollars per second each time someone insults people using their television station.
Uganda Communication Commission is also set to vet all television procedures.
Finally, some type of television shows are going on hold on all television stations hence fourth.
