Speaking when she signed signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Nyika Media Club (NMC) in Mzuzu a few days ago, NICE Public Relations and Communications Officer, Grace Hara, said journalists have a critical role in promoting democracy and good governance; hence, the need for her organization to partner with them.
