Already facing charges of operating a TV without a valid license from the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), and now under the blaring reality of sustained surfacing of legal cases mounting over the person of incarcerated Dean Saava Lubowa, the Chief of Strategies of the now frozen TV 10 Gano Mazima from several persons, he is left with no option, save for exposing those that fed him with the contested information that has led to his impasse and literally fed him to the ‘dogs’.
Boxed into a corner of despair, save for the argument of the regulator and the statements made against some of the persons that head it, the rest of the cases that Dean faces can journalistically be traced to his sources and informers. It initially begun as a formal due process on 2nd October 2025 at Standard Utilities and Wildlife Court in Makindye via three criminal charges related to illegal broadcasting and defamation.
The court is presided over by Her Worship Gladys Kamasanyu. It originally zeroed on operating an online television station without a license, defied regulatory directives, and allegedly used his platform to insult and defame prominent Ugandans. It has since culminated into a manna of cases with the latest under another magistrate being on claims that Lubowa Dean Saava, between the month of July 2025 and August 2025, in the areas of Kampala City or thereabout, using a computer via TikTok account named `TV 10 Gano Mazima` sent or transmitted information about, or relating to Kakooza Savio Ntesibe, the Director Ombudsman Affairs at the Inspectorate of Government.
The charges before court suggests that Lubowa alleged that Kakooza received a bribe of UGX200M on behalf of Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, the Deputy Inspector General of Government, in order for her not to close a road construction project, whereas not. This is contrary to section 28 (1) and (2) of the computer misuse Act, Cap 96, culminating into malicious information.
This same file includes other eight offenses that are too, derived or are related to the earlier mentioned, plus hate speech and thus, he was remanded to prison until 23rd December 2025. This is against the backdrop derived by axel of professionalism that dictates he protects his sources.
In the glaring looming of unsolicited fate characterized by the aforementioned peddlers of the now trouble-causing files, he is left with no choice but to play against the rules to regain his freedom. Gifted with a motor-mouthed sensational style of presentation, one would be ‘bufooned’ to believe that Dean, superficially cultivated that information by himself without being fed by others in the same circles as his accusers. These are the same people that must come out and avail Dean’s lawyers with crucial and detailed information that would trade his freedom, lest he exposes them. Watch this space
