National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula who was the Chief Guest emphasised the importance of media freedom in the social and political transformation of society.

"I have encouraged the media fraternity to follow professional ethics by avoiding adversarial journalism that usually leads to the undermining of their freedoms.

"I recognize and deeply appreciate that journalists are professionals who put their country and community above themselves, often risking their lives to bring us stories that they hope will spur change in different sectors of our society," said Wetangula.
