They fought for independence so we could freely write and talk about social, political, spiritual,economical matters etc., alas media houses, print and electronic Journalists are under threat. Following that its not possible for Times of Zambia, Zambia daily-mail, the Post and Daily nation to publish every citizens opinion,people themselves have opted to express their views on online forums and media though some views are exaggerated but informative and closer to the truth, others can cause total confusion whereas others are aimed at defaming and slandering others.
It is so disheartening that some Law enforcers are working against law and order, arresting whosoever writes and talks about naked truth or matters that affect country men and women.
How are people, CSOs, Churches, political and other stakeholders concerned supposed to carry out checks and balances if they cant freely write and talk about issues that affect?
Against this background,i feel limiting people to express their views freely will not yield anything instead will keep revolving the same circle years and years to come. It is my strong conviction that real issues are brought forth through criticism which turns out to be checks and balances.
Bemba's say munshebwa aile nama shinsha kubako!
Lets write, speak, unite and work together for a better Zambia
