Since they pre-record all programs before airing, the guest can request them to edit some parts out.
Whatever the station broadcasts, the person in question has to agree.
However this wasn’t the case with the TV station after it aired what Dr Besigye had asked them to edit out.
The former FDC president started by thanking them for hosting him despite being a critic of the government they work under.
He said that the last person who had taken a risk of hosting him on the station, Counsel Gawaya Tegule had lost his job 20 years ago.
“I appreciate the great risk taken by UBC in getting & airing an interview with me.
UBC promised not to edit my responses. I asked them not to air the program at all if they felt unable to air some of its parts- I would understand.
I am disappointed by what has been aired.” Besigye posted on his Twitter page.
Social media users were quick to jump into the mix with some advising him to sue the station. Others comforted him that nobody watches the station.
“I watched UBC for the 1st time in many years but did just watch it today because of you. Anyways, don’t let this disappoint you, your appearance is a big milestone.” Another said.
“I got done with UBC in 2016 when I was listening to UBC West on the day of voting. A presenter was telling people to wake up and go to vote M7 aka campaigning for sevo. I just knew these people don’t work for Uganda but the “Dictator.” Another follower went.
Besigye has been very vocal in the fight against COVID 19 and it seems that UBC thought he could have something to say to the country hence the invitation.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
