“We will also schedule a meeting with the Prime minister and the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) to discuss the BBS matter and how to create better working conditions for Uganda’s journalists,” they wrote.

“We have asked those MPs to worker hard to ensure the minimum wage Bill finds its way through. We want a specific clause in the bill which requires termination of licenses and offers heavy punishments to defaulting companies-such as BBS,” the statement reads.

The correspondent also demanded to be issued with working contracts, something BBS is reportedly not doing now for correspondents.
