Hajji Ismail Ssekidde, the husband to renowned
herbalist, Sylvia Namutebi aka Maama Fiina, has dragged Red Pepper and its
Luganda sister publication Kamunye to court, accusing them of constantly
publishing his wife’s nude pictures.
Through his lawyer, Isaac Kimaze Ssemakadde of
Web Advocates & Solicitors, Ssekidde filed the case in High Court
yesterday, alleging among other things that the respondents’ arbitrary act of
giving unsought publicity in the tabloid newspapers and online publications of
the sexuality of his wife infringed his human rights and freedoms protected by
laws of Uganda.
Ssemakadde told us last evening that his client
yesterday secured a temporary injunction banning the two tabloids from further
publishing the nude photographs of his wife and related defamatory stories
until the main suit is heard and disposed of.
“The applicant seeks a declaration that the
information, photographs and other materials for the respondents’ publications
complained of in this application were gathered and disseminated without
following proper journalistic ethics and standards and in contravention of the
Press and Journalists Act, Cap. 105,” the plaint reads in part.
In an affidavit accompanying the application,
Ssekidde describes himself as a businessman in Ndeeba as well as husband of
Namutebi with whom he is blessed with ten children – six of whom are minors.
Ssekidde, who wants Shs 20bn compensation among
other things, alleges that his family was at the beginning of July 2012
troubled by “rogue journalists” who threatened to publish the photograph of his
wife in the nude. He alleges they acted on their threats on September 13, 2012.
“The photographs and articles in question concern
my wife in uncovered and relaxed position in what clearly is a private setting
– a bed room – where peeping Toms, snoops and voyeurs should not be… the
photographs were published to harass and embarrass my wife and
destabilize our marriage,” Ssekidde states.
He says the photographs and articles in question
are highly unpleasant not only to the couple but also their children, family,
friends and relatives. Ssekidde says he is aware that his wife is not ashamed
or embarrassed by her sexuality, but it is private and that publication of the
said photos has suddenly killed the peace and harmony that they have tirelessly
built over the years.
“The applicant shall also prove that the
respondents threaten and intend to continue publishing the photographs and
articles complained of in the forthcoming issues of their tabloid newspapers
unless they are restricted from doing so by this honourable court,” the plaint
adds.
Besides compensation, Ssekidde also wants the
tabloids to not only disclose their source of the photographs but also destroy
them all.
“The Applicant also seeks an order directing the
Media Council and the Broadcasting Council to take swift and severe
disciplinary action against the aforesaid persons,” the plaint goes on.
