Uhuru newspaper for 14 days, for publishing an article titled "Sina wazo kuwania Urais 2025- Sarnia". The public was informed that, the Article was reckless and falsified, with information which was maliciously or fraudulently fabricated and that the news was knowingly false or without reasonable ground believing it to be true. Further, the said piece of news was seditious in that, it rose discontent or disaffection amongst the people. And lastly, that the news article promoted feelings of ill-will and hostility between different categories of people in the United Republic. Based on that order the petitioner alleged that, the suspension of publication, printing and circulation of the newspaper violated her right guaranteed under Article 18 of the Constitution of the URT. Hence this petition. Submitting in support of the petition Mr. Mpoki, the learned advocate established that, the Petitioner has brought this petition before of suspending the publication and distribution of Uhuru Newspaper for 14 days. He stated that, the Director did so by virtue of power conferred upon him under section 9 (b) of the Media Services Act (henceforth the Act) without due process of law as a result the fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 18, 13 (6) (a) and 15 of the Constitution were violated.
