Known for audacity and hard hitting questions during interviews, Joel Ssenyonyi is one of NTV Uganda’s influential newscasters. He manages several segments of the station’s “NTV Tonight”, “NTV AT ONE”, “Morning At NTV”, starring Brian Mulondo, Simon Kasyate, Mabel Kebirungi and Isma Kigongo.
He has been nominated by fans and certified by the Academy for the annual Heaven Inspired Triumph (HIT) Awards, in the TV Personality of the year 2016 Category.
The same category harbors the likes of Olivia Zziwa –NBS, Brian Mulondo- NTV and Rukhshana Namuyimba- NBS.
Speaking to Ug Christian News, Joel Ssenyonyi, also an employee at Power FM 104.1, said that he is elated to know that there are people who follow and appreciate his efforts.
“Being nominated is great; it’s an endorsement of my work. I am elated to know that some people follow and appreciate. That said, it’s important to note that ultimately I do my work for the Lord as in Col 3:23, not for my bosses or even awards. When the bosses appreciate, it’s a boost. When I get awards, it’s a boost as well,” he emphasized.
The HIT Awards seek to reward those whose strong values and faith have inspired them to stand out in their fields. The awards will especially look at outstanding philanthropy inspired by faith.
Joel further noted that as a Christian, he believes that his “pulpit” is the media platform. “It is what God has given me. Whatever I do on that platform should reflect His glory,”
Voting is now open to the public and the frontrunners to the listed categories will be unveiled at a grand ceremony come Friday 8th July, 2016 at the Serena Kampala Hotel.
