On Thursday June 19, 2014, NTV Uganda aired images of their President Yoweri Musveni taking a snooze in a national debate. This national debate took place in Parliament.
According to The Guardian: "Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo confirmed that NTV Uganda would be punished over the catnap claim, accusing it of a "lack of professionalism and biased coverage"."
This statement by Ofwono Opondo got NTV banned for covering any presidential events. This ban was only for a month. Also NTV wasn't informed by the AFP about this sanction.
Now in July of 2014, this ban has been lifted. According to NDTV.com : "In a brief statement, government's spokesperson Ofwono Opondo said the presidential security service had decided to "reinstate NTV coverage of President Museveni's functions" as of Thursday, ending a month-long ban".
NTV Uganda is now able to cover Yoweri Musveni's events on National Television.
