We shall examine the scope of the citizen’s freedom of expression under section 12 of the Constitution, namely his:

  • freedom from interference with his correspondence.  

We shall also discuss:

  • whether a Freedom of Information Act is necessary in our democracy;
  • whether the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) is fulfilling its statutory role vis a vis radiobroadcasters;
  • whether the 2018 amendments to section 46 of the Information & Communication Technologies Act 2001 are sufficiently clear and certain within the meaning of section 10(4) of the Constitution; and
