Tanzania’s information minister is adamant that the suspension of “DarMpya” online news outlet is an administrative issue and has nothing to do with its critical content.
Along with the recent lifting of the indefinite suspension of ‘Mawio’, ‘Mwanahalisi’, ‘TanzaniaDaima’ and ‘Mseto’, the Minister of Information, Communication and Information Technology confirmed the Tanzanian government’s decision to review repressive media legislation.
In its submissions on amendments to Tanzania’s Electronic and Postal Communications (Online Content) Regulations, CIPESA expresses concerns over remaining restrictive clauses.
