Foroyaa Editorial
GRTS UNDER FOCUS
Those who followed Every Mbye's programme on TV would not fail to realize that they are campaigning for the APRC for the coming National Assembly elections. The GRTS management should meet to develop standards for their programmes.
Political parties should be able to buy slots and talk about their party programmes. National programmes however should be free from any biasness.
Section 208 of the Constitution states that "All state owned newspapers, journals, radios and television shall afford fair opportunities and facilities for the presentation of divergent views and dissenting opinions."
FOROYAA therefore calls on the opposition to request for Every Mbye's invitation to this television programme so that they can explain whether having a house of representative without an opposition is to the best interest of the country and whether those who are not in the APRC are unpatriotic.
The Gambian people need programmes that promote national unity irrespective of diversity. The programme should enlighten instead of mislead the people.
People must begin to digest the fact that the wrong that is not said and known about a country can never be corrected for the public good.
