There is no turning back on building the democratic credential of the government and it shall continue to be the preoccupation of the government through my ministry, development partners and stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the Media Development Indicators Report is an important tool for assessment of the state of the media in the country.<\/p>\n
