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. 17
