Uganda Media Monitoring Unit in the President’s Office. The Uganda Broadcasting Corporation Act, 2005, introduces a public broadcaster. However, this body falls short of meeting basic requirements for a public broadcaster, especially in regard to the nomination of the Board of Directors which is appointed by the Minister. No legislation has been passed in relation to community broadcasting. License fees for urban and rural stations are the same. As a result the generally poorer operators in rural areas are being disadvantaged.
