The poor and the marginalised confused
I promised to give you updates on many issues. Today I want to share with you how some of our fellow journalists can sell their profession to being used by the state. Well, MBC in their on-going national tour, visiting the radio listening clubs (RLC) encountered a rather resistance parallel to their expectations. One of the Radio Listening clubs in Lilongwe called our office and revealed how the dialogue between them and MBC reporter went:
Reporter: Munene zoyipa zomwe amachita a DBU amene akunena kuti DBU inatha.
RLC member: Ah kunena chilungamo , ife amenewo palibe chomwe anatilakwila, timagwila nawo tchito bwino bwino.
This information was missing in the news bulletin broadcast on 6 January 2009.
If only MBC could sit down and start writing project proposals than extensive travelling and spreading information which is causing confusion. I would give them a five!
The community is empowered to demand their right to development and transparency and accountability from the duty bearer through the radio. DCT’s mission: A local NGO committed to empowering marginalised communities to realize their rights.
I am wishing you a lovely weekend. Don’t forget to pray for us, there is need for divine intervention in this battle. Tachoka kutali we cannot give up!
