New Vision receives radio equipment


By Alfred Wasike

THE VISION Group on Saturday received the equipment for its radio station, due to be launched by the end of the year.

“We have received the equipment for the mast,” said the company’s procurement manager, Sam Aderubo.

“We are soon erecting a 60-metre mast on one of the high points in Kampala. Our installation engineers are on site.”

“It is part of our grand plan for the electronic media,” commented corporation secretary Gervase Nyanabo when receiving the equipment.
