Dimanche des Rameaux : La foule n'a pas toujours raison

 

La foule n'a pas toujours de raison malgré le dire selon la voix du peuple est la voix de Dieu.

Le Dimanche des Rameaux est finalement encré dans l'esprit des chrétiens comme l'occasion par laquelle les juifs accueillaient solennellement Jésus Christ dans la ville de Jérusalem. 

Que retenir de cette solennité

1. La foule n'a pas toujours raison

2. L'hypocrisie n'a pas commencé le jour de l'inscription de ce mot dans le dictionnaire 

3.  Les dirigeants du monde ont eu depuis longtemps peur des hommes véridiques 

4 Les accusations de condamnation de Jésus Christ sont similaires à celles de Sacrate

5. Le montage contre les innoncents se solde souvent  par l'étonnement amer des initiateurs

YTJN is promoting Domestic Resource Mobilization in Sub-Saharan Africa

 YTJN is promoting Domestic Resource Mobilization in Sub-Saharan Africa

The Youth Tax Justice Network organized on April 7 a media work-shop to train media personalities on how to report on results to ensure that project objectives are fully reflected as they report.

Today, 50 persons from 6 countries these are Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Botswana and Lesotho were invited by the Youth Tax Justice Network (YTJN) to attend virtually and physically a media workshop which took place at Kabira Country Club, Kampala.

The aim of the workshop was to train media personalities on how to report on results to ensure that project objectives are fully reflected as they report. These may include news articles, TV and Radio Talk-shows and online promotions among others.

Specifically, the organizers wanted to have increased understanding of the Domestic Revenue Mobilization (DRM) project and its objectives by the media, to create visibility for the DRM project and to share previous research by YTJN on DRM for example the Baseline study and toolkit.

Throughout the training, YTJN was expecting an increased advocacy in harmonization of tax incentives and curbing harmful tax practices to widen the revenue tax base and an Increased collaboration between YTJN and the media.  

Panelists were Canary Mugume, the NBS TV News Anchor, Bella Twine, a journalist with debunk Media Initiative, Ismail Musa Ladu, a senior business reporter Nation Media Group and Allan Muhereza M, the YTJN team leader who provided the first presentation. Allan said young people are really key domestic revenue mobilizers and suggested that journalists be more involved in DMR by reporting and analyzing. Participants suggested that politicians attend such meeting because it’s up to them to implement the policies.

Activities were inspired and supported by Diakonia and Sweden Sverig.

On behalf of YTJN, Burundi chapter, Barinzigo Julien and Kirsten Nicolas Nzungu, both coordinators and journalists attended the training.  

‘’ Business journalists who make a name for themselves are those that cover or do stories that no one else is doing or writing. And they are more likely to see their careers move upward because those stories get the attention of the business community’’- Chris Roush, a distinguished Scholar in business journalism at UNC-Chapel Hill. Do you agree? Asked Ismail Musa Ladu, the panelist and answered  Yes and No to conclude.

Talking how to cover news on tax, Canary Mugume, the NBS TV News Anchor called upon journalists who cover news on tax saying that they should research the subject and search for reports about the topic before the press conference. They should come armed with questions, always look out for competition and pay attention to questions being asked by your fellows. They should note of the speaker is relaxed when they are asked a difficult question and forget copy and pest, ordered Mugume.

Africans deserve more decent jobs

 Many people in African communities are looking for a decent job.

In Africa people do have jobs: they are simply too poor not to work, said a specialist. Instead, the problem is underemployment. Typically 90% of the labor force is in the informal sector such as subsistence agriculture and urban self-employment in petty services. This seems to be true for Burundi and Rwanda.

In too many African countries, hiring and firing workers is too expensive, regret analysts. Governments create legal and regulatory barriers  that make it more difficult for employers to hire women. They restrict access to certain professions or limit the number of hours women may work.

According to the International Labour Organization, 30 out of 100 Africans are unemployed. But it doesn’t have to be this way. People like Theo Baloyi are breaking down barriers and creating new jobs! Despite the challenges he faced when he founded Bathu, today, his company employs over 200 people to make sneakers. Tanzanians are doing so. What are  waiting for others, asked ONE.

People shoulkd  show their governments that they need them to act now to ensure a better future for Africans.
