Edith, While @AFP @BBCbreaking are looking for ratings, the local media houses are being protective and thinking ahead, &quot;what kind of impact would those allegations if aired have on the local Mwananchi&quot; <div><br>
if the honorable PM has evidence then, we can trust our judicial system to deal with that, a press conference is absolutely useless unless you are looking for support from the local mwananchi which would result in chaos.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Of course some listers might still argue that information is important and that does not endanger any lives which humbly I see as being naive and simplistic. <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 12:21 PM, Edith Adera <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:eadera@idrc.ca" target="_blank">eadera@idrc.ca</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
