Dear Editor,
The NCN workers are among the victims of insecurity, and are being attacked while carrying out their responsibilities. The Clerical and Commercial Workers’ Union (CCWU) rejects all forms of injustices meted out against these media workers.
The CCWU defends the democratic concept that considers media workers as an ingredient of democracy; a factor of social integration, committed to providing a service of quality, diversity and objectivity to the general public, whom these workers seek to inform and educate.
Of recent, some politicians have been manipulating the interests, and have, in many instances, undermined and discredited the NCN media workers.
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers”.
Sincerely,
Sherwood Clarke
General Secretary,
CCWU
