HIGH Court Judge, Justice Yasin Nyanzi has summoned UCC to attend a court hearing on application where a city lawyer, Enoth Mugabi filed against them concerning digital migration.
Justice Nyanzi has set July 13, for the hearing of the application which is seeking an interim order restraining Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) from stopping broadcasters from transmitting analogue TV signals until determination of the main suit.
Mugabi wants court to issue an interim order against broadcasters stopping them from obeying UCCs’ commands to transmit digital Television signals to the public.
He also wants court to issue an order directing broadcasters of analogue TV signals to join the case.
He claims that UCC has no evidence of a treaty and treaty instruments and municipal ratification papers governing the migration.
This application comes two days after Mengo chief Magistrates Court overturned its earlier orders directing UCC to immediately switch back to analogue, because it lacked the jurisdiction to handle the application. Read more
