The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has suspended the popular morning program “Omusunsuzi” aired on Salt TV, owned by Pastor Bugingo, following concerns over abusive language and inappropriate content.

The show is co-hosted by Full Figure, also known as Jeniffer Nakangubi, and veteran broadcaster Charles James Ssenkubuge.

According to a statement issued by UCC on Saturday, 13th September 2025, the decision follows routine monitoring and multiple complaints from viewers about the program’s content.

The show, which airs weekdays from 6:00 am to 8:00 am, was found to contain offensive language, unprofessional conduct, and material deemed unsuitable for young audiences particularly concerning given its early morning time slot when children are likely to be watching television.

“The suspension reflects UCC’s ongoing commitment to protecting the public, especially vulnerable groups such as children, from harmful and offensive content on broadcast media,” the statement read.

By enforcing the Minimum Broadcasting Standards, the commission aims to ensure that all media outlets uphold professionalism and respect community values.

Under its mandate in the Uganda Communications Act, Cap. 106, UCC has directed Salt TV to immediately suspend the program, respond to complaints, submit recordings of all episodes aired between 1st August and 12th September 2025, and provide the program’s scripts for review by 19th September.

This action comes in the wake of similar enforcement measures that were taken against  other television programmes that were airing abusive and misleading content which were violating broadcasting regulations.

These shows include NBS TV’s “Uncut Sabula” and “Uncut Kalakata,” Spark TV’s “Live Wire,” and Urban TV’s “Short Circuit Sonsomola”,  all of which were criticized for airing insulting language, indecent dressing of presenters, unsubstantiated claims, and inappropriate scheduling of adult content.

UCC’s intervention serves as a stern reminder to broadcasters of their responsibility to produce content that is suitable for all audiences and compliant with both legal and ethical standards.

The commission emphasized that it will remain vigilant in monitoring media content to safeguard the public interest and foster a safe, respectful broadcasting environment.

This sends a strong message to all media houses that maintaining professionalism, ethical standards, and respect for community values is mandatory in Uganda’s broadcasting sector.
