Journalists in Busia have called on security agencies to provide them with security as they discharge their duties

They said their lives are mostly at risk when the country is heading to an election period and therefore appealed for safety ahead of the August 8 general election.

Speaking as they marked the World Press Freedom Day, they claimed a section of political leaders treat them arrogantly when they report any secrets about them.

The journalists also disclosed that sources chase them from their offices when they try to inquire information from them.

Despite the encounters they face while in line of duty, they pledged to work together and serve interests of the public without fear or favour.
