The Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Edward Frederick Kimera Muwenda Mutebi II, has awarded Busoga’s BABA Television for its distinguished services in the field of information dissemination, and maintaining good relations with the Kingdom.
Since its inception a couple years ago, BABA Television has extensively covered developments in Buganda Kingdom, relaying their live events, conducting interviews with kingdom officials including the PREMIER, Owek.
