A delegation from the Rwanda Journalists’ Association (RJA) is, this week, scheduled to meet a Senatorial committee to present their case for the decriminalisation of defamation. If the Law is amended, it will not only help in ensuring confidence to prospective investors in the media industry in the country, but will also spell doom to falsehoods peddled about Rwanda by detractors and a section of the media.
