Iredia made this name on Thursday, whereas responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Come up Tv.

He stated fairly than focusing on governance, the politicians all the time discuss concerning the subsequent election which may be two-three years away.

The Chancellor charged the media to drag them again and set the agenda for them and inform them it’s not a interval for electioneering.

“It’s not as if it seems. It’s precisely so, and it’s been on for fairly some time, and a few of us have been elevating the alarm that look in governance, there’s a interval for electioneering.

“After that, there’s a interval for elections; after that, there’s institutionalization of presidency. After that, there’s governance.

“So fairly than focusing on governance, they’re all the time speaking concerning the subsequent election which may be distant. And so the focus that should be on governance is taken away, and the politicians are busy searching for how they will get the subsequent election.

“Now that is the place the problem is available in. It’s the media whose responsibility it’s to drag them again and say that is not a interval for electioneering. This can be a interval of governance. So we wish to see tasks. We wish to see what you’re doing. We wish to inform the general public what you’re doing.

“We don’t wish to inform the general public what your ambition is. We have now handed that stage now,” he stated.
