A Tanzanian is facing charges after he allegedly shared comments on Whatsapp calling President John Magufuli an imbecile.

Mulokozi Kyaruzi has been charged under the controversial cybercrime law.

He is the second person to be charged under the law for insulting the president.

The law was highly criticised for infringing freedom of expression when it was enacted last year.

Here is the statement of the offence:

Mnyika, mentioned in the statement, refers to John Mnyika, a young and very vocal opposition MP.
