Like the proverbial phrase which says that ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade’, indeed outgoing Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) Executive Director Godfrey Mutabazi must be doing the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snoops reveal that Mutabazi has embarked on a serious recruitment and scouting exercise for smart, experienced scribes to employ as documentary gatherers for his media house in Luzira, near Cipla Chemicals factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hear Mutabazi wants to start shooting serious documentaries that can be sold to different media houses in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sources say that he wants to recruit real workers who will toil to produce material that can beam news on screens across the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sources tell us that last year Mutabazi imported state-of-the-art studio equipment and flew in Kenyan engineers to put everything in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, last year the recruitment they carried out could not help get them the qualified senior personnel they were looking for in departments of editorial, operations, marketing and digital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hear he is also looking at getting digital expatriates from Kenya and India. Mutabazi has been the Executive Director of UCC for the last 10 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His contract expired last week, on 9th February 2020. Eng. Irene Kaggwa Ssewankambo, the Director Engineering and Communications Infrastructure, took over as the Acting Executive Director.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
