Former NBS TV employee Ninye Tabz has leaked the salaries of Next Media staff, revealing shocking disparities in pay. The Naguru-based TV station is now under scrutiny after the disclosure, which Tabz claims to be a step towards demanding his unpaid wages for four months of work. This revelation has left many viewers and industry insiders surprised, particularly with the wide range of salaries among the station’s key figures.
Ninye Tabz, an ex-worker at NBS TV, has been vocal about his grievances with the station, citing unpaid salaries as the main reason for his actions. According to Tabz, despite his dedication and hard work, he was not compensated for four months. In what seems like an act of frustration and seeking justice, Tabz decided to leak the salary details of his former colleagues, causing a stir both within and outside the organization.
Shocking Salary Discrepancies: Who Earns What?
The leaked salary list has unveiled surprising figures that highlight significant differences in earnings among Next Media employees. Here are some of the most notable revelations:
- Canary Mugume: The young and dynamic journalist is reported to earn a whopping UGX 6,310,000 per month. This figure has caught many off guard, given his relatively recent rise to prominence in the industry.
- Samson Kasumba: Despite being a seasoned journalist with years of experience, Kasumba earns UGX 4,695,383. While still substantial, this amount pales in comparison to Mugume’s salary, sparking conversations about the value placed on experience versus fresh talent.
- Simon Kaggwa Njala: Even more surprising is the revelation about Njala’s earnings, which stand at a modest UGX 1,787,691. Fans and industry observers alike are puzzled by this low figure, considering his long-standing presence and contribution to the channel.
- Kevin Kaija Komuhendo: As the Chief Operations Officer (COO) of Next Media, Komuhendo tops the list with an impressive UGX 10,730,908. This high salary reflects his significant role in the company, overseeing various operations and ensuring the smooth running of the network.
The leak has sparked widespread discussion on social media and other platforms, with many questioning the fairness of the salary distribution at Next Media. Some viewers express shock and disappointment, particularly at the lower salaries of veteran journalists like Kasumba and Njala. Others are calling for greater transparency and fairness in the way media personnel are compensated.
