Civic Space & Media Freedom Single source Pakwach 10 Nov 2020 Severity: 1/5

Pakwach Chief Administrative Officer Stella Abyeto wrote to a nurse at Pakwach Health Centre, asking her to show cause why she should not be disciplined for translating Robert Kyagulanyi's speech at a rally that day. The letter said this was partisan political activity contrary to the Public Service Standing Orders. The nurse told ChimpReports she was asked to step in when the translator failed and did not know it was not allowed.
