FDC candidate Patrick Amuriat says three Soroti radio stations declined to host his talk shows

Civic Space & Media Freedom Verified Soroti 12 Nov 2020 Severity: 2/5

FDC presidential candidate Patrick Amuriat Oboi said radio stations Etop, Delta and Kyoga Veritas in Soroti declined to host talk shows he had booked, and told voters in Kalaki town that government was curtailing their freedom. Some station managers, speaking anonymously, said the matter was beyond their control. State Minister for ICT Peter Ogwang, accused of blocking Amuriat, said he had no power to stop FDC from accessing any radio station in Teso.
