Media Coverage

The relationship between media and government has a profound impact on the information to which the public has access.

Traditionally, leaders have relied on the media to communicate with citizens and stakeholders around the world, making sure they get the information that will shape their daily decisions. A robust media, in turn, questions the government and the leadership, analyses its decisions, and sparks lively debates that guarantee a state's identity is always developing in a constructive and insightful way.

While I do engage with the media fraternity whenever an opportunity presents itself, today social media is changing the mode of communication making it more instantaneous and interactive for you all to know about me, my thoughts, my work and my life.
