An Irish national named Annet Mollen has built a career as a television presenter in Uganda by drawing on Luganda lessons she began taking in childhood, according to Pulse Uganda. She now works at Bukedde TV, a Ugandan broadcaster.
Pulse Uganda reported the story on Friday, 2 October 2026, describing how her early exposure to the language developed into a professional role on air.
The details available about Mollen's path are limited to that outline. What is clear from Pulse Uganda's account is the sequence: language study that started when she was young, followed by a move into broadcasting at a Ugandan station where Luganda is central to the output.
Her case points to a route into local media that does not depend on being raised in the country or speaking the language from birth. Learning Luganda early gave her a foundation she later used in front of a Ugandan audience.
Bukedde TV is known among Ugandan viewers as a Luganda-language outlet, which makes fluency a practical requirement for anyone presenting there. Pulse Uganda's report frames Mollen's childhood lessons as the starting point for her current work rather than a later addition to it.
It is not clear from the available reporting when Mollen moved to Uganda, when she joined the station, or what she presents. Those specifics were not included in the summary of Pulse Uganda's article.
