The Uganda Communications Fee (UCC) has issued a directive banning the broadcasting of particular songs by singers Gravity Omutujju and Lil Pazo, citing considerations over vulgar, obscene, and culturally offensive content material.
In an announcement launched on Friday, the UCC directed all broadcasters and on-line platforms in Uganda to:
- Droop Broadcasting: Instantly cease airing songs titled Enkudi, Dooze, Okwepicha, Enyama, and Omunio by the 2 artists.
- Limit Discussions: Keep away from discussing the banned songs on broadcast platforms till investigations are concluded.
- Guarantee Compliance: Stop airing any packages or content material with vulgar language or culturally offensive statements.
The fee emphasised that selling such materials violates Ugandan legal guidelines and warned broadcasters of authorized penalties in the event that they fail to conform.
This directive, in keeping with UCC, is geared toward safeguarding public morality and cultural values.
The ban follows the same transfer by the Uganda Nationwide Tradition Centre (UNCC) and the Uganda Nationwide Tradition Discussion board (UNCF), which had earlier prohibited music by the 2 artists together with songs from feminine singers Shakira Shakiraa and Gloria Bugie.
The Buganda Kingdom additionally supported the motion, instructing its media platforms to not airplay the affected songs.
This intervention underscores rising considerations about sustaining Uganda’s cultural integrity amidst trendy leisure traits.
The UCC continues to induce broadcasters to prioritize content material that displays and upholds societal values.
