MWANAJITI URGES MEDIA TO PROTECT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Human Rights Champion and Democracy advocate Ngande Mwanajiti has urged the media to remain vigilant in protecting freedom of expression and ensuring the public receives accurate information.
Mr Mwanajiti says the media has a responsibility to distinguish facts from misinformation by prioritising truth, information and education in its reporting.
He says the media should also play a key role in educating citizens on President Hakainde Hichilema’s Agenda for Growth and providing information on alternative policy proposals.
Mr Mwanajiti says the media should not lower its guard in defending its independence and professional mandate.
