Jones Othieno, a staff at the station told the president at Morulinga State Lodge in Moroto that the station, which serves Karamoja region, only operates twice a month due to technical difficulties.
President Museveni laughed at the revelation and pledged to follow up the matter.
“I’m sorry to hear about UBC which is totally seasonal. A radio is supposed to be daily not seasonal. That it only comes on twice every month – that one now is something new because radio is supposed to be everyday, otherwise how will people know which date. I’m very happy you told me, I’m really going to follow it up.” said Museveni.
