On Saturday, socialite Shanita Namuyimbwa commonly known as Bad Black threatened to drag government to court over unpaid Covid-19 sensitization advert.

In the letter, she said that she was approached by one Ronex Kisembo, who works with Precision Media to record a message geared to end the spread of coronavirus. 

She said she was not paid for the adverts that are running on television.

She was promised a meeting with the Head of State, Yoweri Museveni, upon which they would discuss the payment.

The promise has not fulfilled and as a result, Black wants a compensation of over 500M.

The Ministry of Health has, however, released a statement saying that the Ministry doesn’t owe Bad Black any money.

The Ministry says Bad Black consented to record a message that was appealing to her colleagues who were at risk of contracting COVID-19, and would thus spread it to other members of the community.

The Ministry says it only paid for airtime.

“Following the call by the President to the general public to donate or provide free services towards the prevention of COVID19, a number of companies came out to support the Ministry of Health with some offering a number of items while others supporting interms of services they offer. 

It is therefore against this background that Precision Communications Consulting Limited came out and donated Media Production services to the Ministry of Health under close supervision of the Ministry of Health. All content and messaging was cleared by the Ministry. Additionally, Precision Communications Consulting Limited approached various key personalities who voluntarily recorded messages as a way of giving back to their country in this COVID-19 fight, among whom was Bad Black. All these individuals were requested to voluntarily participate, and they consented before any recording was made," part of the statement read.
