On this World Communication Day, I join Pope Francis
and the entire Catholic Church in condemning the spiralling rise of fake news
across the world.
Fake news is bad news and therefore trouble. As we approach
an election year, it expected that this trend will escalate. While rhetoric
remains the bedrock of political obfuscation, false news stretches rhetoric
beyond the acceptable.
We must put measures in place to check this. I urge
practitioners to be above board and retain the interest of the masses in their
hearts. Let's strive to end Fake news, it is indeed “evil”.
Communication is
key to development efforts, wishing you all a fruitful celebration.
