NMG Uganda to resume operations after Museveni nod
A member of Uganda People's Defence Forces stands at the headquarters of Nation Media Group - Uganda (NMG-U), a building that houses Daily Monitor, KFM and Dembe FM radios, as government closes the media house, in Kampala, Uganda on June 28, 2026.
Nation Media Group (NMG)-Uganda is set to resume full operations exactly one month after it was shut down on June 28, bringing to an end weeks of disruption following a military operation that forced its television and radio stations off air and rendered its newspaper operations inaccessible.
The reopening follows a series of high-level engagements involving President Museveni, first son and Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba and NMG majority shareholder Rostam Azizi, the Tanzanian businessman whose investment vehicle, Taifa Group, this year acquired a controlling 54.08 percent stake in NMG, East Africa's largest independent media conglomerate.
