The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has cracked down on obscene content, banning several songs deemed vulgar and indecent. The move is aimed at protecting public morality and ensuring that the airwaves are free from indecent content.
The banned songs include Enkudi, Dooze, Okwepicha, Enyama, and Omunio. The UCC has directed all broadcasters to immediately suspend the airing of these songs, citing their obscene and vulgar content.
According to the UCC, the banned songs contain veiled words and statements that are not only vulgar and obscene but also have the potential to undermine the moral and cultural values of Ugandan society.

Furthermore, the commission’s executive director, Hon. Nyombi Thembo, emphasised that the UCC is mandated to regulate the communications sector and ensure that broadcasters adhere to the Minimum Broadcasting Standards and the Uganda Communications (Content) Regulations 2019.
Hon. Thembo noted that the UCC has been monitoring the airwaves and has taken note of the increasing levels of indecent content being broadcast on Ugandan radio and television stations. He warned that the commission will not hesitate to take action against any broadcaster that fails to comply with the directive.
Some members of the public have praised the UCC for taking bold action to address the problem of indecent content on Ugandan airwaves. They argue that the ban is necessary to protect children and vulnerable groups from exposure to obscene material.
In conclusion, broadcasters who fail to comply with the directive risk facing regulatory sanctions, including fines and revocation of licenses. The UCC has also threatened to pursue criminal prosecution against individuals and organisations that defy the directive.
