#gag order

The National Press Club has condemned a gag order imposed on a Sunday Times journalist, which prohibits her from reporting on Sunshine Myende, sending her questions, or using her photograph. This action has raised concerns regarding press freedom and the ability of journalists to perform their duties without restrictions.

The Sunday Times contends that Sunshine Myende, chairperson of the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), misused the Protection from Harassment Act to suppress media coverage on issues of public interest. The journalist from the Sunday Times is challenging a gag order imposed by Myende, asserting that it constitutes an attempt to silence legitimate reporting, according to the publication.
