doubt as stated in the case of Rev. Christopher Mtikila vs.
Attorney General [1995] TLR 31 at page 34 where the Court held
that;
"A breach o f the Constitution is such a grave and serious matter
that cannot be established by mere inference but by proof beyond
reasonable doubt"
Going through the alleged breach of the
right to receive
information through suspension order given to Uhuru Newspaper on
11th August, 2021 by the Director when exercising his power under
Section 9 (b) of the Media Services Act, it is our finding that its purpose
was to ensure the media service providers are exercising their right of
freedom
of
expression
within
the
ambit
of
their
duty
and
professionalism and not otherwise.
As argued by the learned State Attorney that the media houses
have rights and obligation under the Constitution and other laws of the
land including the Media Services Act as reflected under Section 7 of
the Act. It is our consulted view that, like any other bodies which are
regulated by the laws, the media industry is of no exception. It is
regulated by the law, to ensure that every member is observing the
terms and conditions for which the licence to operate was granted.
