He congratulated them upon celebrating their day, cautioning them to remain responsible journalists.
Relatedly, Her worship Reginah Nakkazi Bakitte, the Nansana municipality mayor, has thanked journalists for their tremendous work well done of being human rights defenders of the society, by being the voice for the voiceless people, thereby enabling them to get justice that has been denied such as the victims of land grabbling or victims of corruption.
