Truth as life giving

Abstract

A phenomenon that seems to perpetuate itself in our context today; in countries like Kenya and Nigeria, is the arbitrary impounding of local journals and newspapers by security personnel serving under some kind of superior authority. Besides the panic of curiosity such
undemocratic acts cause among the populace, there seems always to be an underlying calculated strategy to deprive the people of the truth. By pulling the wool over their eyes the perpetrators of these unjust acts sit comfortably on their thrones of power and assure themselves of good security. The people are deprived of truth; they are given death instead.
