Most country of the world has an agency with the sole responsible of disseminating government information, bringing the citizens abreast of the Government policies and its implementation. Moses Nagamootoo once headed GINA when he was the Minister of Information. The attempts to Silence GINA is also viewed as an attempt to rob the Guyanese public vital information of programs of the State and the implementation of its policies

But that is not the case, they are in the business of disseminating propaganda biased towards govt and is a tool, historically of the ruling party.  It would be more cost effective for govt to outsource legitimate information to the public via privately run stations.
