In an interview to the press, incumbent president of MEJU stated the purpose for it's relaunch "Our goal is going back to our roots and ensuring that our people get adequate and reliable information concerning events in and around and with that we laid a platform to relaunch Menchum Voice which has been a weapon of communication across the division.
