What shows that a country is fairly democratic is not that journalists can have tea with politicians they criticise but that journalists can speak their mind without the fear of being thrown in prison

Having tea is just symbolic dont comment without understanding Andrew think outside the box he said himself you can critcise and hold accountable those responsible but it's not to abt an enemy to destroy like nowdays journalists

@@ezraalba7465 Yes, the people he criticised didn't take it personally but that is not what indicates that the ideals of democracy were being upheld. The more powerful gesture Was him being thrown into prison for doing his job. That was what spoke volumes as far as democracy is concerned

@@ezraalba7465 I'm being objective here. Democracy has ideals. I don't know if you understand them. Journalists should not be intimated in a good democracy. It doesn't matter if outside of work, the journalist has good personal relationships with the people in power. In the context of democracy we will consider that a journalist while at work, spoke and he was thrown into prison for doing that. Yes, we appreciate that powerful people can tolerate his person in private and we clap for that but it's more important that they tolerate his work work as a journalist as well. That's the point of my argument

Thank you for being objective. Mwenda is very articulate, its a quality people posses that others don;t want to acknowledge.

Mwenda is just being dishonest to the public.

Very intelligent man

Depends on what you mean by democracy

Interesting. People used to respect Mwenda. Now read the comments on here. I rarely meet anyone anywhere in Uganda who doesn’t have complete contempt for him. Says it all really.

So could Mwenda be Ugandan's problem 🤔

Totally. You’ve got it in one. Mwenda is eveything thats wrong with Uganda. A critic of Mussevini for years, as the owner of a failing paper he took M7s state money. Now hes M7s spokesman.

😂😂😂 Uganda more free than the UK or US??? Any sane person should never take this compromised noisy man Andrew seriously. He is all about what’s good for his stomach not the oppressed.

Ntv thanks for bringing Andrew on. I studied journalism because of Andrew I wanted to be like him though I got mixed up along the way when I thought he changed. But today have learnt something new from him again. And so he will remain my inspiration in journalism. I would like to meet him in future.

Who is this moderator. The guy is way gud . NTV find a space for this guy

Just waiting to witness one day after Musaba how those who claim no democracy in the country yet they can seat on any radio/TV channel and express themselves how they will feel 🙆🙆

THAT HAPPENED TO ANDREW BSE YR A SON IN THE FAMILY,IF NOT TELL PEOPLE HOW YOUR RELETED TO NOBLE OR YOU WERE AN AGENT FOR GOVT.INVISIBLE HANDLE.

Mwenda has been a double dealer like Jimmy the Double, hence he is set for when to be used and look-warm when slapped.

Mwenda is a, kabanu

That was the work of a spy
