ALTHOUGH some of our television stations are owned or controlled by the government and by political activists, they could surely inject some general and worldwide news and views into their broadcasts. Their broadcasts are replete with local content which includes a concentration on their political parties.

For the intellectual development of our populace, interest in the world, peoples and cultures, it is necessary that we are also provided with world-wide developments and occurrences. The world’s most developed countries have been helped in attaining their status by their outreach to citizens via the varied content of their broadcasts.
This brings me to raising the issue of our leaders making themselves available for televised interviews such as what occurs in the democratic, developed countries. The mere fact that the leaders know that their economic and social decisions will be subjected to public scrutiny and debate, should motivate them to always make decisions in favour of national development.
