Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

[Rutashubanyuma]

So regardless of what we think of it death ultimately is great

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

For it purifies us with impurities

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Even good ones die for the same reason

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Rowing back to media service law it seems regulations hatched by relevant minister are now point for critical consideration

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

My circumspection leads me to believe the definitions of journalist and seditious offences remain problematic

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

News are constitutional rights and cannot be limited to an academic discipline

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The media law seems to acknowledge that in curriculum vitae of the Director General

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

No mention of mass communication or journalistic disciplines as only qualifications

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Public administration is also considered a pertinent qualification

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Borrowing from this we expect the minister to concede in the impending regulations that journalism is specialization proof career

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

So a university graduate is a sufficient qualification to be a journalist

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Failure to do so specialised disciplines will be muffled.

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

To enrich journalism we need doctors to shed light on health issues whereof training only in journalism cannot give us a really professional aspects

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

At CNN, they have Doctor Sanjay Gupta for a reason

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

If the regulations only define a journalist is the one with mass communications résumé then our own Sanjay Guptas will never be journalists denying constitutional rights of millions needing health freely available counsel will be muzzled

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The quality of news and its editorial content at best will be left to locum in the name of journalist though unqualified to advice the general public on health issues

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

It seems the debate has never involved all of us

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The debate is spurred by fears of regime change via mass education of civics education

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

There is one way to go

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The rights to disseminate and receive news remain constitutional ones
