The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has taken a powerful stance towards vulgar and obscene content material in music and on-line media. Following a gathering with varied stakeholders, the UCC has issued a directive to broadcasters, on-line content material suppliers, and social media customers to right away cease selling and sharing songs that include specific lyrics and sexually suggestive themes.
Specifically, the UCC has singled out songs by standard artists Gravity Omutujju and Lil Pazo, together with tracks like “Enkudi,” “Dooze,” “Okwepicha,” “Enyama,” and “Omunio.” These songs, the UCC argues, promote immorality and undermine the nation’s cultural values.
The UCC’s Executive Director, Nyombi Thembo, has warned that broadcasters and presenters who proceed to air these songs might face regulatory sanctions and even prison fees. The fee goals to guard the general public, particularly younger individuals, from dangerous content material.
This transfer comes after the Uganda National Cultural Centre (UNCC) additionally expressed considerations in regards to the specific nature of those songs. The UNCC summoned Gravity and Lil Pazo to debate the problem and urged them to create extra healthful music.
