A controversy has emerged over the sharing of a State Minister's personal interview on a government ministry's official Facebook page. Leaders of the Nationalist Citizens' Platform (NCP) have strongly criticized the move, arguing that official state channels should not be used for personal branding.
The debate began after the ministry's verified Facebook page posted video clips of the minister's recent television interview. NCP leaders quickly pointed out that using state-funded platforms, which run on taxpayers' money, for individual promotion is unethical and violates standard protocols.
In a statement, NCP leaders urged the government to stop using state machinery and resources for partisan or personal propaganda. Conversely, ministry officials defended the action, claiming the post was intended to inform the public about the minister's policy decisions and official activities.
The incident has sparked widespread discussion on social media among citizens. Many experts and internet users believe that clear guidelines are necessary to define how government social media pages should be managed to prevent personal political campaigning.
“There is a pressing need for clear guidelines on the use of official government social media accounts. Utilizing state-funded platforms for personal promotion compromises the neutrality of public institutions.”
