Uganda journalists operating in South Buganda (Greater Masaka) under their umbrella association of South Buganda Journalists Association have threatened to mobilize people to storm UMEME offices protesting against increased road shedding.

The scribes want to storm UMEME offices demanding an explanation for the persistent loading shedding. The scribes through their head, Aliga Issa say they work 24 hours a day but the increased load shedding in Masaka has hampered their operations.

Aliga has told our informers that Masaka town has been in darkness for the last two weeks and that it is increasingly difficult for them to file stories on time due to shortage of power in the town.

Efforts to get a comment from UMEME’s boss in charge of Masaka branch, Kivebulaaya Kirunda Magoola were futile. But other media houses last week quoted him as saying that UMEME was experiencing technical problems which he promised would be resolved soon.
