The Parliamentary Forum on Media-PFM has today been revived and inaugurated with the Mpigi District Woman Member of Parliament Teddy Nambooze sworn in as the forum’s Chairperson.
This comes in days after Nambooze was voted by the Greater Mpigi Journalists Association-MPJA as the best media friendly legislator in the region.
The Forum which is mandated to spearhead and table issues concerning media operations in Uganda before Parliament had disappeared due to poor governance of the Uganda Journalists Association-UJA.
Headed by Nambooze, it now consists of 10 other members who include; the Buzaaya County MP Martin Muzaale as the Deputy Chairperson, Sembabule Woman MP Anifa Kawooya as the Coordinator, Baba TV Manager Noordin Ntege as the Deputy Coordinator, Counsel Emmanuel Kaasa as the Secretary, UJA President Mathias Rukundo as the Treasurer.
Others are the Mityana Woman MP Joyce Bagala Ntwatwa, Bugiri Municipality MP Asuman Basalirwa, Makindye East MP Derrick Nyeko, Kyamuswa County MP Moses Kabuusu and Katikamu North MP Denis Ssekabira.
Delivering her speech after the swearing-in ceremony, Nambooze promised to ensure that issues affecting the media in the country are prioritized in Parliament.
