Let reason prevail

This is not a new development as it has happened in the past under the previous regime. We never thought this would ever happen under the current regime. Talk of new wine in old glasses! We admit that the police are free to investigate.

What happened to our journalist is a clear indication that the country needs the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA). This episode is sheer reminder why journalists need that Act. In pursuit of our role as the Fourth Estate there are impediments all over the place. These landmines are found in so many Statutory Acts to organisational policies.
