The 2019 BBC Komla Dumor award winner Solomon Sserwanja has pondered quitting Kamwokya Based Television Station- NBS after the Kin Kalisa administration rejected his salary increment request.
But the HR-office has tactfully refused to respond to his resignation notice.
This website understands that Sserwanja has already made arrangements for a fat job opportunity in Nairobi- Kenya.
Currently Sserwanja is away in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on a trip after spending days in Nairbo where he held a “special meeting that will change his life forever.”
According to our source at NBS TV, Sserwanja had asked for pay rise of $2000 (7.3m) which Mr Karisa isn’t ready to cough.
No Ugandan media house can pay an individual such hefty amount of money.
In Uganda journalists are exploited and paid peanuts, as they only benefit from the limelight, freebies and exposure.
This development has since sent shivers down the spine of NBS Human Resource office as the TV continues to lose the top cream of journalists following the departure of Raymond Mujuni, Joseph Sabiiti, Innocent Nabaasa and Sheila Tusiime Mugisha.
This website understands that this massive exodus of experienced journalists threatens the grip of NBS particularly at a time when media houses are preparing for an electioneering period in which NBS was perceived as a conqueror.
On Monday night NBS will be premiering an investigative piece conducted by Sserwanja about theft of human blood in hospitals.
When contacted Sserwanja couldn’t respond to our repeated calls.
Desire Mugumisa, the NBS TV publicist didn’t answer our call when contacted.
