Galaxy TV reporter David Mwesigwa remains concealed after Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja instructed police to arrest him. The journalist had confronted President Yoweri Museveni about poor conditions at three medical facilities during a recent public appearance. He described mothers delivering babies on floors and broken oxygen equipment at the hospitals.
Nabbanja later inspected the facilities and confirmed overcrowding at Mukono Hospital. She disputed claims about faulty oxygen systems at Kayunga Hospital and accused Mwesigwa of misleading the president. The prime minister demanded police summon the reporter for retracting his statements and apologizing.
Mwesigwa released a video message confirming he evades capture but denies being detained. Authorities have not specified potential charges against the journalist. His current whereabouts remain unknown.
