As Dr. Hassan Saeed has mentioned in his manifesto, we need to privatize Television Maldives and Voice of Maldives. If TVM and VOM are privatized then there is no need to have a ministry for “information and arts”. Arts component could go to the "Ministry of Sports, Arts & Vocational Education".
make tv and radio a public limited company where ordinary maldivians can buy shares and have stake on it.
ReplyDeletedo the same thing to mifco and sto and mtcc. or stelco and mwsc and the rest. sell all government shares of these companies to public.
in case of stelco and mwsc prices should be regulated and passed from finance ministry because its abasic neccessity adn cannot run purly based on capitalist principles. it may never turn astronmical profits, but covering their running cost and a little profit would be fine.
gud idea... kan sav lotta money n earn lotta money thru the privatizing.. at the same time mo fredom to express all our thorts n v can rely on tv n radio channels mo than now..nw all staf is a product of one person n how he wants dse to be..
ReplyDeleteTVM & VOM going Public is a very good idea.
ReplyDeleteEnabling the public & other potential investors take part in the economic activity.
This will also enable raise funds for the expansion of this operation (better equipment & professionalism).
It is advisable to study the possibilities of inviting a credible foreign party from Singapore or Indian media industry to take part in the new venture thru public offering.
Study the benefits of taking Island Aviation, Stelco, MWSC & MIFCO to public.
Once the study is done, take the right action immediately.
Stelco & MWSC could be combined as one single entity under the Utility concept.
Offer more shares to public from companies like MTCC, STO & BML. Currently these companies are very much controlled by government entities. We need these companies to be "real" public companies. Implement a transparent governance which ensures all stakeholders that the companies are managed thru international best practices.
It very important to introduce Profit Tax to all companies in order to fund the government expenditure & services to public. Currently Profits from the said companies are used to fund government expenditure.
government should establish effective watchdog or a very professional regulator to monitor companies who are in regulated businesses. specially those who offer utility services, basic food & other supplies to public.
