| MUSANA AT PARLIAMENT |
In his senior four vacations (2001) God blessed him; the area where he was leaving started a community radio station (Kagadi kibaale community Radio) under URDT. Applications were invited from dedicated people who were to be trained on job. He consequently got the job. He went through vigorous training by the Eco - News Africa a media company from South Africa.
Little did he knew he end up joining Uganda Christian university to peruse a degree in Mass Communication. While At UCU, he was recommended to be a student leader of all students from mid western region. But his ambition was to become a Journalist. At the University he specialized in print other than public relations or broadcasting.
While at kagadi kibaale community radio, he demonstrated the highest he could deliver. Management was pleased about the results. From there, he began as a radio presenter, producer, and advanced to the head of programmes at the said radio.
His experience in News writing, reporting, and producing programs and management, from kagadi Kibaale community radio have always stayed with him amidst other duties. The issue of deadlines had not been a worry to him.

INTERESTS
He always wanted to use the power of the printed word to shape the morals of the society. Morality has never been relative. He cannot afford to miss to communicate the word of God using the power of the printed word.
He is also interested in issues that affect his contemporary society. National issues interest him so much that is to say, national election, parliament, politics, and religion. Other events that do not leave him behind curtains are the educational issues say cultural gala competitions, inter University academic debates and fellowships. Interests cut across many disciplines of life.
INTEGRATING CHRISTIANITY IN CURRENT AFFAIRS
It is his desire to explore the Biblical truth on the current challenges of man. It is widely known that everything can be subject to Biblical truth. He is a kind of a person who is always interested to subject all the mysteries to a test of a litmus paper called the Bible.
He do love the lord and serve him with all his heart and believes that this is the guiding principle in executing his work as a managing editor if all goes well.

HIS OPINION ON ETHICS AND TELLING THE TRUTH
In his opinion, the truth should be said in its fullness.
Musana said that “The Bible guides
us here that 'we should tell the truth and it will set us free, I do shun the
practice of plagiarism of whatsoever form”.
If a newspaper is to be reputable, originality
is a crucial point. He truly embraces the issue on media ethics. Truth telling
is guided by facts. 'Truth without facts is futile'. I do cherish the principle
of balance, of bribery, fairness, and taste in new paradigm of journalism
