@JYesho: For every right there is an equal and corresponding duty. Various institutions have been bestowed upon the mandate to ensure that these rights are implemented through set mechanisms. This can be enhanced through collaboration with such institution.
Abdi Shukri of MUHURI: There is need to improve partnership between the CSOs, government institutions on both county and national level to improve their working relationships while respecting each other’s role and responsibility in providing accurate and timely information.
Feisal Abdulrahman ( Journalist RMS): Access to information is a right to every citizen in this county. Journalists face a number of challenges in accessing information especially from the County government.
Feisal: Seeking for information should not be perceived as siding with a particular side as it aids in disseminating accurate information to citizens. He urged @MediaCouncilK to look into cases of 'journalists' with no journalism credentials & who operate private You Tube pages.
