Press freedom gains must be preserved

Over the past five years the media has seen significant gains in press freedom.

In addition, there have been substantial gains in the use of peaceful means for conflict resolution.

One must remember the circumstances prior to resolution of this lengthy election conflict.

It is paramount that any leader who aspires to take our nation forward in unity and peace that the use of peaceful resolution to conflict continues to be the preferred path.

The continued strengthening of our justice system and our institutions must continue to be a high priority for ensuring that these two pillars (press freedom & peaceful reconciliation of conflict) of a unified and peaceful society are sustained.
