Sironko, (UG):– The Minister of State for Karamoja Affairs who also doubles as the Sironko Woman MP, Hon. Nambozo Florence Mayonga, has strongly criticized the Daily Monitor for what she describes as biased and misleading reporting.
In a press statement released Wednesday evening, titled “Response to Daily Monitor Article Dated Wednesday, 12 March 2025”, the Minister’s Personal Assistant, Gamwaga Rogers, accused the publication of failing to uphold the journalistic principles of balance and fairness.
According to the statement, the Daily Monitor article presents a one-sided narrative that does not reflect the general perspective of voters in Sironko District. The statement further alleges that the individuals quoted in the article are known personal assistants and agents of a specific candidate, making the reporting unreliable and politically skewed.
The Minister reaffirmed her commitment to the NRM party and confirmed her interest in contesting for the NRM District Chairperson position, currently held by Lumolo Sulaimani, the father of her political rival, Asha Nabulo Mafabi.
Hon Nambozo emphasized that media houses should provide objective reporting and avoid distorting facts to serve individual interests. She remains steadfast in her political ambitions and is determined to seek the people’s mandate in the upcoming party elections.
BELOW IS THE FULL STATEMENT:
Response to Daily Monitor Article Dated Wednesday, 12 March 2025
Our attention has been drawn to an article published in the Daily Monitor on Wednesday, 12 March 2025, titled “Will Nandala Come to Save Nambozo Again?”
We find the content of this article misleading to the public, as it appears to present a one-sided perspective. This raises concerns that the author may have been influenced to interfere in the internal affairs of Sironko District. It is important to note that all elected leaders in Sironko were given a five-year mandate by the people, and their accountability lies with the voters, not media opinions or biased narratives.
Furthermore, the views expressed in the article do not reflect the general perspective of the voters in Sironko District. The individuals quoted are known personal assistants and agents of a specific candidate, which compromises the impartiality of the piece and renders it unreliable in predicting electoral outcomes. Such biased reporting misrepresents the Minister’s work and disregards the will of the people.
As Team Nambozo, we advocate for balanced and fair media coverage that represents the voices of all people and upholds the principles of truth and objectivity. We remain open to working with media partners who prioritize the interests of the community and report accurately on issues affecting the people of Sironko.
Hon. Nambozo remains a committed member of the NRM party and has no intention of joining any other political group. She is determined to contest for the NRM District Chairperson position once the process is opened. The day is coming when the people of Sironko will speak.
She remains dedicated to serving the people of Sironko and will seek their renewed mandate to consolidate ongoing development efforts and support the vision of H.E. the President of the Republic of Uganda.
Regards,
Team Minister Nambozo
