A few days ago, a video clip showing Kanungu FM radio station manager, Nelson Twinamatsiko bitterly beating up a female employee over UGx 20k commision went viral and now Court in Kanungu District has ordred him to either pay UGx200k or serve an eight-month jail sentence after he pleaded guilty.
Apparently, Nelson pleaded guilty to charges of assault and occasioning actual bodily harm to his workmate as he was captured in a video assaulting Anita Tumuramye, a female presenter at the station.
Anita Tumuramye claimed that Twinamatsiko assaulted her when she demanded payment for a school advert she brought to the radio station.
The Kanungu grade one magistrate, Asanasio Mukobi on Wednesday read his decision after Twinamatsiko pleaded guilty to the offence and asked for a lenient sentence.
“Since the accused person has pleaded guilty to the offence and has not wasted court’s time, he is sentenced to a fine of Shs200,000, in default serve a jail term of eight months,” Mukobi ruled.
