Hyped TV presenters Janet Mbugua and Hussein Mohammed of Citizen TV, Monday 23rd April, laughed at a news article where a Ugandan female activist was shown being harassed and her breasts squeezed by Ugandan police during the scuffle.
The news was about activists who marched on Kampala’s main police station, angry at police treatment of a female opposition leader last week, which reportedly included the squeezing of her breast.
Around a dozen female activists – several of whom had removed their shirts in protest – walked through central Kampala waving placards.
After the video went off air, the cameras caught the duo still reeling from the effects of laughter. then Hussein comments "There is nothing you can say about that Janet, is there?". Still grinning, Janet replies, "No Hussein, nothing at all" then they carried on with the other news as if nothing happened.
Later during the bulletin, credible info from Citizen behind the scenes say that they were seriously scolded and told to put in a positive comment on air, which Janet did.
That was really insensitive and in fact, "you should know people" considering someone like you Janet is being paid 800,000 to be nice on air for 30 minutes...
