Individual defamation case study
Ugandan radio journalist convicted of criminal libel
A Ugandan journalist Ronald Ssembuusi was
convicted of criminal defamation for reporting false accusations against the
former district chairman, Dan Kikoola, of theft.
40 solar panels that had been donated by
African Development Bank had gone missing. The story reported that Kikoola was
guilty of thieving these panels. The report was later aired on radio and the
inaccurate information was shared publicly amongst the listeners.
Despite efforts to argue that journalists have
the freedom of speech, Ssembuusi was found guilty of defamation.
This has gone against number 2 of the 12 main journalist
ethics and standards as the information spread is not honest and inaccurate.
