The media and the business sector are two of the most powerful and influential entities in society. If the business sector were to close their doors and demand changes, the government will be forced to concede, as this would do irreparable harm to the country.
Let’s assume all businesses were to close, the economy will come at a standstill. This will have a deleterious effect on the country’s finances. Inevitably, in order to avoid the disastrous consequences, at least some compromise will have to be made. Both parties will have to concede something.
A government cannot have meaningful development without partnering with the private sector.
