Lowassa to Juma Nkamia: Reconcile with the media
The chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Affairs, Security
and Defence, Mr Edward Lowassa, has urged the ministry of Information, Culture,
Youth and Sports to settle its recent misunderstanding with media practitioners
in the country.
Mr Lowassa said this yesterday when his committee was bidding farewell to
Kondoa South Member of Parliament, Mr Juma Nkamia (CCM), who was recently
appointed deputy minister for Information, Culture, Youth and Sports.
Mr Lowassa said it was not fair for the ministry, which is custodian of the
media in the country, to be blacklisted by the same industry.
“Please, you should sit down with media practitioners and discuss your
differences. Both you and the media should compromise because no one has
monopoly rights to this country,” said Mr Lowassa. He also urged the ministry
to make sure that the new Information and Media Bill is tabled in Parliament as
soon as possible.
