Promotions galore in DPP cadet media rank and file

Government has promoted some journalists who work as ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) social media activists.

The announcement of the names has caused a buzz and stir in the social media platforms as some of them use pseudo names (Zigoba) to crash the opposition in social media whilst promoting the DPP agenda.

Others run radical DPP websites and propaganda machinery.
