Uganda Communications Commission terminated Salt TV's morning program Omusunsuzi after determining the show violated broadcasting regulations. The weekday program from 6 to 8 a.m. featured inappropriate language and unprofessional presenter behavior. Regulators expressed concern that children might witness harmful material during family viewing periods. Salt TV must submit written responses to complaints and provide program recordings from August through mid-September. The station faces a September 19 deadline to deliver required documentation.

This action follows broader election guidelines issued to all broadcasters regarding political neutrality requirements. Communications officials observed media personalities hosting programs while simultaneously pursuing elected office. Several stations reportedly refused airtime access to specific candidates based on party membership. Broadcasting regulations demand impartiality and balanced coverage during campaign periods. Media outlets must require presenters seeking political positions to suspend their programs temporarily.
