Minister of Information, Arts and Legal Reform, Mohamed Nasheed Kutti always maintained that the state media TVM will give equal opportunity to all Presidential candidates and he appeared to have kept his word – that is until last night. On Friday night in an unprecedented move, the TVM gave the opportunity to Dictator Gayyoom to answerback all the issues that were raised in the Presidential Debate shown live on TV on 3rd September.
A live transmission of the Dictator’s speech to the DRP meeting was shown live on the national TV where the Dictator attempted to counter all the arguments raised by his opponents. As usual, he failed to do so but this is beside the point.
The point is Kutti Nasheed has once again proved that he is nothing but a derrière-kisser of the Dictator; and the likelihood of the TVM showing live the next speech by the other Presidential candidates to their respective parties is zilch.
In the Maldives, the state media giving equal time and opportunity for all the Presidential candidates is nothing short of a joke. It was, is and will always be the mouthpiece of Dictator Gayyoom as long as he remains in power.
Kutti, you should wake up and do the right thing. Why are you still aboard a ship that is bound to sink to the bottom of the sea in the next few weeks?
