That's utter nonsense. Any journalist who doesn't see anything wrong with the laws, including all the things we have pointed out does not deserve the title of a journalist. I hold no brief for nmg but the reason you attribute to the sackings is both puerile and false. No demonstration has been planned by nation group or any media organisation so the question of forcing any1 doesn't arise. This is part of the propaganda whose source is obvious.

Thanks Alex for busting that guy and Mr Mwale for that insight from TZ, now that is what we call objective , sometimes we create Drama where we shouldn't a law in my opinion should be a gentlemans agreement to regulate their behaviour in a civilised society. Much as we cannot forget where we have come from we must not forget where we are heading. Members we need a Ministry for ICT i insist !!!, much as we are in a converged environment, it is evident from the passionate exchanges we have had here that this are two industries that might need to be regulated separately, Hon Mheshimiwa Rege what are your opinions ? we need to hear your voice On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 5:37 PM, David Makali <dmakali@yahoo.com> wrote:
