The Media in Tanzania and all its practitioners will not escape the arm of the international legal institutions if they continue to propagate issues that contribute to breach of peace and conflicts in the country.
Mr Abdulrahman Kinana
Mr Abdulrahman Kinana, who headed the East African Observer Mission during the last March Kenyan elections, stated here that of late, Tanzanian media outlets and journalists have been so irresponsible in their reporting such that the country has been plunged into series of social, religious and political conflicts, some of which have already claimed lives. Journalists here believe that when it comes to facing charges in international courts such as the ICC in The Hague, it is only the politicians and government leaders who become accused, warned Mr Kinana, reminding that even reporters get charged. He cited the case of Kenyas Radio journalist, Mr Joshua Arap-Sang, who was summoned before the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his alleged role in the countrys 2007 post-election chaos that claimed over 1 000 lives.
