Capital Radio, through its legal representatives at Lex Uganda Advocates and Solicitors, has released a statement dated 27 September 2023, addressing recent allegations of intimate relations among its staff, including its CEO, Peter Mungoma, and Radio Presenters Lucky Mbabazi and Gaetano Kaggwa
Capital Radio has noted the publications by Rahma Nakands @RNakands on social media and other online media regarding alleged intimate relations amongst its staff – with particular mention of its C.E.O, Peter Mungoma and Radio Presenters Lucky Mbabazi and Gaetano Kaggwa.
Capital Radio considers these allegations to be baseless and false and should deservedly be dismissed with contempt. Capital Radio maintains a positive working environment for all its staff, conducting social events for employee interaction and teambuilding as is proved by the publicly available images. This false report is malicious, regrettable and intended to misrepresent the cordial and collegial environment at Capital Radio.
We are working with our client Capital Radio and the relevant law and order agencies to bring the offenders to account for the malicious statements and defamation of persons. A record of the offending publications has been filed for review and tracking the offenders.
As a broadcaster and corporate citizen, Capital Radio recognizes the protection of the Freedom of Expression but urges civility of discourse and engagement without infringement of the rights of other persons Redress should be made by taking down the offending posts and an apology in like media.
