Media personality Kasuku has opened up about the circumstances surrounding his departure from Dembe FM and Spark TV, claiming that what began as a discussion about renewing his contract ended in an unexpected disagreement.
Kasuku alleged that Flavia Tumusiime contacted him for talks about renewing his contract, giving him the impression that the two were going to discuss his future at the media organisations.
However, according to Kasuku, the situation took a different turn when he allegedly received information that Tumusiime had instructed the head of security not to allow him into the premises.
“Flavia Tumusiime called me for talks to renew my contract but she turned around and allegedly told the head of security not to let me into the premises,” Kasuku said while explaining why he left Dembe FM and Spark TV.
The allegation suggests that Kasuku felt unwelcome at the workplace despite being invited for discussions about his contract. The reported incident appears to have contributed to his decision to walk away from the media platforms.
Kasuku is known for his work in Uganda’s media industry, where presenters often face difficult decisions concerning contracts, management relationships and career opportunities. His account has brought attention to the circumstances that he says surrounded his exit.
The claims also raise questions about what happened during the contract renewal process and whether there was a disagreement between the parties. However, the allegation about the security instructions remains Kasuku’s account, and Tumusiime’s response would be needed to establish her side of the story.
Kasuku’s remarks have therefore offered a glimpse into the events he says led to his departure from Dembe FM and Spark TV. It remains unclear whether the two sides have since held further discussions or whether there is any possibility of a professional reconciliation.
