Gazeti la Mawio matatani kwa kuchapisha katuni hii

A TEST TO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. BELIEVE IT OR NOT:

In the midst of the debate on two or three-tier government, MAWIO - a weekly newspaper in Tanzania, published this cartoon. Now the Registrar of Newspapers - MAELEZO - has, through a written communication, queried MAWIO for publishing the cartoon; saying it is either demeaning or insulting. Now the editor has to show cause "why he should not be brought before the law" - a la Tanzania - the law in hands of authority and not in court of law. -- via Ndimara Tegambwage's blog

This is free expression. It should be right for each and every citizen to have the free speech expression in our new constitution. Tanzanian need to work up, these leaders are not Gods, they can't be right all the time. Why can't we be free from these hypocrites who thinks they can tell us how to live our lives and choose for us what yo say?. All man are created equal. Why should them treated different from us. Personally I couldn't take these selfish politician, I chose to find freedom away from home, until the day my people will see the importance of it. I know my country needs people who can speak out. I'm one of them though I'm in States. Pursued of happiness occurred when everyone is free from hypocrites..think about it!
