Muhwezi says; "Live proceedings mean you open the door to whoever is talking, and you will have no control over what he is going to say. There you will become an accomplice, and will be guilty like he/she is."
Media houses will be closed, social media activists arrested and prosecuted, and individuals too who report on defiance prosecuted as per the new directives.
