BBS Terefayina is reportedly facing growing staff frustration over delayed salaries, with employees said to have gone unpaid for September and October despite continuing to work.
According to inside sources, staff at the Buganda Kingdom-owned television station last received their salaries in August. The delays have reportedly left some employees struggling to meet obligations such as rent, school fees and other household expenses.
The situation has allegedly created uncertainty among workers, although management is said to have assured staff that the outstanding salaries will eventually be cleared, citing economic challenges affecting the station.
Meanwhile, senior news anchor Paul Kulumba has reportedly resigned from BBS Terefayina and is expected to join NBS Television.
Kulumba, who hosted the popular Ageesigika programme, is expected to take up a role presenting NBS TV’s Luganda news bulletin, Amasengejje. His reported move would mark another notable departure from BBS to Next Media within a year.
BBS Terefayina has not yet issued an official public statement addressing the reported salary delays or Kulumba’s departure.
