EDITOR INVESTIGATED FOR CONTEMPT

Parliament in Swaziland is trying to sanction the editor of the privately owned Sunday newspaper for expressing himself about the affairs of the House of Assembly in a recent commentary in his publication.

The Media Institute of Southern Africa reports that Irate MPs refused to be educated or corrected on the right of freedom of expression and the press and went on to pass a resolution to probe the editor, Mbongeni Mbingo, for criticizing the Speaker and House of Assembly for blocking a recent motion by an MP seeking to question an alleged secret move by Cabinet and traditional authorities to amend certain clauses in the Constitution without the knowledge of the nation.
