Kampala -- Ugandan police charged KFM radio journalist Andrew Mwenda with sedition yesterday over remarks he made about the death of Sudan's Vice-President, John Garang.

President Yoweri Museveni vowed this week to shut down newspapers he said were "vultures" meddling in security issues with speculation about the July 30 crash of his presidential helicopter that killed the former rebel chief.
