There is no word "amataka" in Luganda. The word is "ettaka". A phrase/statement like, "amataka g'abantu bagabbye" is wrong grammar! Acreage or quantity doesn't matter, the plural is "ettaka" cc: politicians, journalists

The President's attack on media, in many of his write-ups, has continually incited security personnel into flogging, arresting and torturing journalists. To do journalism is not criminal. We have a duty to inform and tell facts as they are! #Journalismisnotacrime
