Kampala, Uganda – The daughter of the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Obongi, Mr. Samuel Mpimbaza Hashaka, has graduated with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from Kampala University.

In an interview with our reporter, Sharon Muneza thanked her father for allowing her to pursue a career in journalism like him and for funding her tuition. She also promised to join the campaign to elevate journalism as a respected profession in developing Uganda and to advocate for the rights of the voiceless. She challenged government officials to consistently provide information about government-funded programs to journalists so that they can disseminate it to the Ugandan public.
