A Ugandan television station NTV has been banned from covering presidential events after the station’s broadcast displayed the president of Uganda sleeping.
At a recent parliament meeting held at the government house, the Nation TV station televised President Yoweri Museveni, 69, sleeping during a meeting.
Speaking with AFP, the government’s media center manager Dennis Katungi said: ‘president has habits, he meditates and they know it, and still they go out and say he was sleeping. The suspension should not be permanent. It’s temporary, to make them think.’
Museveni, is one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, leading the East African nation since 1986.
