A Tanzanian is
facing charges after he allegedly shared comments on Whatsapp
calling President John Magufuli an imbecile. Mulokozi
Kyaruzi has been charged under the controversial cybercrime law.
He is the second person to be charged under the law for
insulting the president. The law was highly criticised for infringing
freedom of expression when it was enacted last year. The statement of the
offence is seen above.
Here is the translation of what he allegedly said:
"Doesn’t [President
John Magufuli] have advisers? Isn’t he advisable? Or is he simply an idiot? He
is such an imbecile; he doesn’t consider the law in place before opening his
mouth! Or is he sick of 'Mnyika-disease'?"
