Qualitative methods will be used in this research with interviews and content analysis being central. This research proposal will identify and generate a list of recommendations among other things that the government of Uganda should follow or adhere to with regards to fostering an enjoyable enviromnent for freedom of expression as clearly laid down under the constitution, and international laws. Secondly, that the laws prohibiting freedom of expression in Uganda should be increasingly revised, to meet the international standards by way of revoking clauses that are hostile and unfriendly to the enjoyment of freedom of expression.
