Frank Gashumba To Sue The Kampala Sun For Shs 500 Million

Share this post:

Frank Gashumba is preparing to sue The Kampala Sun weekly newspaper for Shs 500 Million for publishing defamatory stories about him.
The most recent story was alleging that he had been evicted from his office over failure to pay rent. The businessman says that he has had enough of this and that’s why he is taking the newspaper to court to seek compensation for damages caused. Read his statement below.
“I have instructed a team of Lawyers to take New Vision to Court, on several occasion, the New Vision through its sister company Kampala Sun has unprofessionally and in a manner that is demeaning, belittling, malicious, biased affected me, my family and several business ventures that i am involved in.
They have called me all sorts of names and the most recent one they reported in their news paper that i was evicted from my office. These stories are deliberately crafted to undermine my integrity. The said office is is open from Monday to Friday.
It is of regret that a media house like New Vision can decide to trend in false hoods and yellow journalism.
Sometime this year, the same news paper published my face on the front page saying that i am a wanted person in kampala which was very false.
It is an attempt to negate Frank Gashumba and undermine his credibility and personality. New Vision is expected to be fair and balanced or atleast pretend to. Enough is Enough.
Let the Courts of Law sort us out.
“If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppresing ” Malcom X
Owing to these defamatory and deliberate statements against me which were read by millions of people across the globe. I strongly demand the following:
1. A sastifactory apology.
2. Damages and compensation for the unnecesary inconvience, loss of reputation, loss of opportunities, anxiety, mental anguish, psychological torture, emotional distress and costs amounting to UGX 500,000,000 (Uganda Shillings Five Hundred Million Only)”
