CBS radio was closed on 10th September 2009 shortly after the radio announcement the the Katikiiro of Buganda; Engineer J. B. Walusimbi had been stopped from continuing to Kayunga in preparations for Kabaka Mutebi's visit. Riots thereafter took off in all parts of Buganda. Government blames CBS for inciting the people and wants among other things that the Station apologises as well as re-locates out of the current Buganda headquarters.
What is your take given that Government actually refused the King from going to one of the areas under his jurisdiction? There is information black-out to the people who have always wished to listen to CBS.
"We the undersigned" Uganda Government Should Re-Open, CBS FM Radio CBS management never did anything wrong. The radio was always impartial. Infact NRM ministers and activists were always invited and welcome. The truth is that the NRM government is dictatorial and does not torelate anyone with different views. My advice to the government to the open the radio as soon as possible. Otherwise people will resort to underground radios and these are even harder to regulate or to shut down
