        No, it's ok. I guess the editors wrote exactly the description of the "ministry in charge"

        @DailyMonitor has never corrected the story on fish exports, has never issued an apology & I even emailed them. call it DUMBING the NATION.

        The only difference for #NewVision today is they issued an apology immediately @ObserverUg did it the next day after Ersnt &Young complaint.

        This isn't an isolated incident. #Uganda media publishes stories with grammar & editorial errors on a daily basis. Which then feeds readers.
