RE: freedom of the press

yes! am sure ur now know what transpired in our beloved country. And not one to walk away from controversy......here goes!
i may not agree with the method or fully support their actions, but I see where the "government" (because this is said not to be official action) was coming from. Talking from experience, I've witnessed first hand how the press has lost credibility and become mercenaries for hire. With a little nudging and a lot of money, you can get the press to sing your song. Let's face it, they are not being victimised because of highlighting corruption. Standard was inclining towards gutter-press standings. I think it was high time some action was taken, though not in the same way as we have witnessed. They should have promptly gone thru the KUJ, Media Owner's Association, and our so called Judicial process.

To other matters, Vicki u know we tight! Had a blast for the brief moments we shared. About the investment thing guys, I would like to remind you to remember some of us are just lowly students. The restaurant sound s like a plan, but I perceive it to be very intensive on time and money. I am discussing starting a company with my dad to go into stocks investment. It has in the pipeline as I was preparing a stock and investment portfolio. So i can get u guys some feedback on that.

PS: Wow to those who read the Da Vinci Code, I hear the movie is coming out soon. Does anyone know about the trailer?

Nathan hapo I disgree.

Simply put without mambo mingi, The issue here is that there is a SERIOUS breach in due process, not that the press needed to be punished.

We should condemn and continue to condemn such disregard for due process otherwise we risk ALL our freedoms as citizens and institutions.

Although your track of though has been followed by some interesting dialogue by a blogger named joe. He seems to think with this case the gvt are innocent untilproven guilty, and that we should hold the Standard (no pun intended) by the same standard.

NB - lets use another forum for the investment club stuff. Im sure not everyone wants to discuss that stuff here.

I am working on a private blog that you can all discuss that stuff.
