The exodus from Serena based Nation Media station NTV Uganda continues! Top field and investigative journalist Julius Ssenkandwa has left the station.
Julius took it to his Facebook and posted;
“Allow me to thank each one of you for the guidance,friendship and unconditional support you showed me in the last ten years since I joined the NMG family. I have graduated from a boy into a man covering most of the top events in the country,I have covered many stories which I can not remember but am sure have some how changed people’s lives.
I can not thank you enough but only to pray to God for life. I have decided to give room to the young generation to try out their luck in the journalism field and I know once you believe in your self the sky is the limit. I kindly ask those I have offended in line of duty to forgive me,those who judged me wrongly.
I have no right to judge or even wish you bad since we are all human. I have moved on,taking a different path and am sure God will guide me the same way he has done in 13 years since I started this interesting journey right from METRO FM. Thank you once again the entire NMG (NTV)family that gave me a platform to be the eyes and voice to many Ugandan”.
