Public media have been struggling financially and this revenue may assist in paying workers dues and statutory obligations. 2.6.6. Biased Media Houses lambasted (Daily Nation 20.05.15) The Annel Silungwe Tribunal investigating embattled Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has lambasted some private media houses for having created parallel tribunals and viciously attacking members of the tribunal and potential witnesses using uncouth language. The tribunal decided that it would hold its proceeding in camera to avoid its standing from being eroded by whimsical attacks from any section of the media some of which have been known to freely attack potential witnesses and advocates. Justice Silungwe stated that the members of the tribunal had not been spared from personalized and vicious attacks stating that the members had been victims of uncouth language from the first day the tribunal was appointed by President Lungu. He said that some media houses and some individuals seemed to have taken sides with little or no objectivity at all but were full of bias in their reportage. He ruled that the tribunal would hold its proceedings in camera to avoid the media houses that had taken sides from serving their own interests, reporting bias, instead of the tenets of integrity and nobility of the office of the DPP which was safeguarded by Article 58 of the Constitution. Justice Silungwe said that the unfair, inaccurate and uncouth attacks on members of the tribunal was an affront to the integrity of the tribunal itself and holding the proceedings in camera would not only be protecting the integrity of the office of the DPP and the witnesses but would also safeguard the interests of justice. 2.6.7 Black out herbalists, media told.
