Tombong,

The elections are in october. The opposition needs the airtime now and always
to get theor messages on the issues to the people. What good will airtime in
October do them?
Also, notice you said "when the IEC sets the rules" What a shame that the IEC
has to set rules in a supposedly democratic country in order for the
opposition to have equal access to the media. That says you are a gross
failure as the Director of GRTS. By the way, since we are "discussing the
issues" What is your comment on the Observer's banning of coverage of Waa
Juwara. As the "Director" you definitely should have something to say about
protection freedom of expresion and equal access to the press by every
Gambian. Let the discussion role sir.
