Speaking at the function, Dr. Chris Baryomunsi,the minister of ICT and National Guidance, disclosed that government was working with other stakeholders to have the media tribunal constituted.

He further said that government is discussing on the proposal by NAB to be considered in the national budget and will give its response as soon as decision is made.
