APC President Nason Msoni
All People’s Congress (APC) President Nason Msoni has described the imprisonment of rainbow newspaper editor-in-chief on contempt of court charges by the supreme court as troubling.
Mr Msoni says jailing a journalist is a terrible indictment on the government and is essentially an international matter which will haunt the state.
He says an opportunity to fix the international image of the country has yet again been lost by the jailing of the journalist.
Mr Msoni states that this is a season of goodwill which should have compelled the court to exercise maximum leniency on Mr Sinjela.
He says his party condemns the jailing of the journalist.
