MUCHINGA Province police commissioner Joel Njase says the summoning of Mpika radio staff by officers for hosting Democratic Party president Harry Kalaba is wrong and unprofessional.
And Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) chairperson Helen Mwale has described the summoning of the Mpika Radio staff as a hindrance to the free flow of information.
In an interview, Njase said he did not have any information on what had transpired in Mpika, but hastened to add that police had no mandate to regulate the media.
“I don’t have that report but will follow up. Police have no mandate in any media related programmes because we don’t supervise or regulate the media. If that happened, then that is wrong and unprofessional on part of the officers. We shall endeavour to uphold the bill of rights,” said Njase.
