Andrew Mwenda is a Ugandan journalist. He is the political editor of The Monitor and a presenter on the KFM radion station. In August 2005 he was charged with sedition for broadcasting a discussion of the cause of death of Sudanese vice-president John Garang. Garang was killed when the Ugandan presidential helicopter crashed on the way back from talks in Uganda. During his Andrew Mwenda Live programme, the journalist accused the Ugandan government of "incompetence" and said they had put Garang on "a junk helicopter...at night...in poor weather...over an insecure area".[1] He also attacked President Yoweri Museveni, calling him a failure, a coward and a "villager", and said the president's days were numbered if he "goes on a collision course with me".[2]
