Uganda's military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni, ordered the closure of Daily Monitor and NTV Uganda, with armed personnel deployed at the Kampala headquarters and broadcasts taken off air. Kainerugaba announced the action on X, stating he does not believe in a free press and that coverage should be guided by revolutionary cadres. The outlets remain closed pending his permission, drawing condemnations from press freedom groups.
